I have been trying to get a clear picture on F1 governance for a while. Here's what I found so far. More knowledgeable forum members, feel free to add more color.
Net, rulemaking works this:
Majority vote at Strategy Group -> Goes to F1 Commission; passes at 70% vote -> Rubber stamped at World Council
Strategy Group:
- 6 votes for FOM
- 6 votes for FIA (chair)
- 6 votes for 6 teams (5 teams guaranteed participation till 2020 (Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, Williams) + top team outside of top 4, for 2015, Force India)
- Ferrari a right to veto
F1 Commission:
- 1 vote each for team principals of all F1 teams
- 1 vote for FOM (chair) and FIA each
- 2 votes for Sponsors (Rolex & Phillip Morris)
- 1 vote for suppliers each - Tyre (Pirelli), Engine (??)
- 1 vote each for 8 race promoters (appointed by FOM - 4 from Europe, 4 from outside)
