First of all it was the tax row which meant some teams threatened to boycott the race. This is now solved thanks to the organisers agreeing to pay the tax liability of the teams to the government instead.

Now comes the news that the Indian government/officials are rejecting visa applications of teams and drivers 'due to lack of information'.

So far it's claimed that the majority of the HRT team and Nico Rosberg have had their applications denied.

Indian farmers have threatened to disrupt the country's inaugural Formula 1 race as they claim they deserve a bigger compensation for their land having been used to build the circuit.

"We have spent $400 million dollars on the race and we will spend a few millions more if needed to have adequate security in place. We will do whatever it takes to have a wonderful event."

Why not spend the 'millions' on a fair deal for the farmers, rather than fighting them by beefing up secutiry?
