The contempt between Formula 1 and its governing body has softened, with both sides announcing Wednesday they’ve agreed “to commit to a strategic plan for the future of F1.”
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem told The Associated Press at the Miami Grand Prix earlier this month that his relationship with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali “has never been better” and the two were working to further strengthen an alliance.

Actions speak louder than words.
So the rumour mill is saying that FOM was trying to get Ben Sulayem replaced, and the allegations of him meddling with Alonso’s penalty were helping them. But a majority of FIA member clubs reaffirmed that they voted him into office and still stand behind him. So FIA won that scuffle.
