Formula One will be entering a new era in the 2022 season. The sport will bring in new regulations and rules to make the competition closer and introduce a budget cap for the teams. Not only F1 but its governing body is also preparing to overhaul its structure. Newly appointed FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem mentioned that the organization will introduce three new working groups.

These three new working groups were on the agenda of the new FIA president as he plans to modernize the governing body. The first working group will work with the president while the second one will look over the governance. The third working group will look at the financial aspect of the organization.
