FIA calls extraordinary meeting on Russian drivers
Formula One's governing body FIA will convene an extraordinary meeting of its World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) on Tuesday after a number of sporting federations banned Russian athletes from competing internationally following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which granted recognition to the FIA in 2012, on Monday recommended a ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials.
FIFA and UEFA also suspended Russia's national teams and clubs from international football until further notice.
