Blair in F1 spotlight again over Ecclestone donation

Blair may be called to face an enquiry over claims he lied to MPs about the scandal. Secret documents made public in the past week have suggested there was more going on behind the scenes when the scandal broke than was admitted.
Beyond bothering Blair, the move is unlikely to have further impact on F1, given that tobacco sponsorship has now been removed from the sport.
