ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Motorsport UK head David Richards has expressed concern for the future of Formula One's governing body ahead of a vote that would limit the powers of its audit and ethics committees.

The FIA has proposed statute changes, to be voted on next Friday, that would give president Mohammed Ben Sulayem and the senate president, a close ally, oversight of any ethics complaints.
