The FIA has announced that it intends to sue The Sunday Times newspaper over an accusation that it has behaved unfairly towards McLaren.
A statement issued after the World Motor Sport Council meeting in Monaco said the body had been given the go-ahead to make the legal move.

It added that the paper “ran an article claiming that the FIA was engaged in a witch-hunt against the McLaren-Mercedes team.”
The article in question is almost certainly this one by Martin Brundle – since it has recently acquired a sub-head reading ‘subject of a legal complaint’.
