It has been revealed that the FIA are intending to sue British newspaper The Sunday Times for libel after the newspaper “ran an article claiming that the FIA was engaged in a witch-hunt against the McLaren-Mercedes team.â€
It is understood that the issue stems from a column written by former F1 driver Martin Brundle entitled “Witch-hunt threatens to spoil world title raceâ€, criticising the way that the McLaren espionage saga was being handled at the time.
