"The new Formula 1 season is only just getting under way and already the sport's uncanny ability to generate controversy is in full swing. There's a team - Sauber - that has three drivers for two cars after a quite incredible court battle. There's another team - McLaren - whose lead driver is not even here after suffering concussion and whose replacement has done less than 40 laps in the car he will race this weekend. There is a continuing row over rules and, by extension, money in the sport.
"Already it is clear this is not going to be a quiet weekend."
