McLaren boss Zak Brown has expressed his frustration at multiple scandals overshadowing the start of the Formula One season.
It comes a day after an ethics committee for F1's governing body, FIA, cleared its president Mohammed Ben Sulayem of "any wrongdoing" over allegations of interference.
Ben Sulayem was accused by a whistleblower of attempting to unduly influence F1 processes on two separate occasions.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton on Thursday slammed Ben Sulayem, saying he had never supported the FIA president.
Brown believed the secrecy surrounding the FIA needed to stop.
"We're living in 2024, not 1984, which means total transparency," he said on Friday.
"I think we need to make sure that things are done in a transparent, a truly independent manner.
"I think everyone should welcome transparency."
It is not the only situation FIA are dealing with.
Things escalated further this week when Susie Wolff, the head of all-female racing series F1 Academy, filed a criminal complaint against the FIA.
Brown answered a barrage of questions about the various scandals engulfing F1 ahead of Sunday's Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park.
"Everyone would like these various topics to enable us to (be resolved to) go back to motor racing, but I think until all the unanswered questions are answered, people will continue to to ask questions," Brown said.
"I don't think it's a great situation that we're in that we're three races into the calendar and we're still talking about these issues.
"It's important that the FIA, as our governing body address this swiftly, transparently and they come to the right conclusions, whatever those may be."
