I think it is tied to the racing license, don't quote me on that.
edit: i am wrong all along, this is not a world championship...
article 112 of the sporting code:
FIA said:As far as the application of this Code is concerned, everycompetitor or driver who has obtained their licence from an ASN takes the nationality of that ASN for the period of validity of that licence.
All drivers, irrespective of the nationality of their licence, participating in any FIA World Championship event, shall retain the nationality of their passport in all official documents, meetings, information bulletins and prize-giving ceremonies.
List of world championships:
FIA Formula One World Championship
FIA World Rally Championship
FIA World Endurance Championship
FIA World Touring Car Cup
FIA World Rallycross Championship
So... if the championship is not a world championship, it is the license country.
In a multiple citizenships case, the pilot choses which of the multiple he retains, even if it is not the one of his license. (a Franco-swiss coulld retain swiss despite having a french license).
