Formula One commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone remains confident the ongoing row which is threatening the future of the sport will be resolved.

Governing body the FIA yesterday issued legal proceedings against Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW Sauber, Toyota, Brawn GP, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso following their announcement they are to start a breakaway series. The two sides appear to be at an impasse but Ecclestone claims common sense will prevail.

He added: "Everyone should stay in their own position, doing what they should be doing.
