Now the Daily Mail bans F1: We boycott coverage after our reporter is barred from races - as decision is branded 'an abuse of power'

The Daily Mail has announced a boycott of Formula One coverage after its motor racing correspondent Jonathan McEvoy was banned from attending the remaining races of the season by Formula One's governing body. The newspaper describes the ban as 'an abuse of power' and 'draconian.' The decision prompted the Daily Mail to withdraw all coverage of the sport in protest.
