Key figures in Formula 1's governing body the FIA are barred from a meeting on Wednesday in a dispute with president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Robert Reid and David Richards were blocked from a key FIA meeting due to their refusal to sign new confidentiality agreements. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem introduced these NDAs to prevent media leaks.

The NDA document reportedly “forbids members from discussing matters pertinent to the FIA outside official meetings”. Insiders have claimed that the NDA was demanded directly by FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem over concerns that details could be leaked to the media, the BBC Sport report adds.
