FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is proposing changes to the statutes of motorsport's governing body.

The proposed revisions are set to be voted on at a meeting of the FIA General Assembly next month .

The changes would bring forward the deadline for candidates for December 's presidential election.

One of the proposals is one that dictates there "must not be anything in the record of the candidates standing for the election as members of the presidential list that calls into question their professional integrity".

Critics say this increases Ben Sulayem's ability to "stack the WMSC with the people he wants" The proposals also bring forward the deadline for candidates to declare their teams for the presidential election from 21 days prior to the election to 49 days .

The document states this could deprive the FIA of "candidates from other backgrounds".
