Spyker’s looming protest against the legality of rival cars is unlikely to result in a reduced grid for the Australian GP.
F1 supremo is at Albert Park this weekend and told American broadcaster Speed TV: “I don’t think the stewards will decide.
“I think they’ll decide it’s perhaps a bit complicated, and send it to the World Council or something.”
Ecclestone, 76, visited all the involved teams’ garages in Melbourne on Saturday and reported that a last minute compromise is now unlikely to be found prior to the end of the qualifying hour at 3pm.
