McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh is hopeful a solution can be found to the ongoing row over sponsors' logos being displayed in the pits and paddock at Formula 1 races.
Pressure has been put on teams by Allsport, which owns all trackside advertising, to remove sponsors' logos from the garages and prominent areas in the paddock, reports Autosport.
The dispute intensified at the recent British Grand Prix when teams were also asked to remove the tractor units of their team trucks because they were showing sponsors' logos too prominently.
Although no solution was found to the dispute at Silverstone, despite several conversations between the teams, Bernie Ecclestone, and Allsport, Whitmarsh is hopeful that the matter will not drag on much longer.
"There is a difference of opinion," said Whitmarsh when asked by Autosport about the situation. "Everyone has taken a pretty sensible view on it. We all know that we have to find an accommodation, and you are not always going to agree.
"I think that the teams feel that what they have been doing is fairly reasonable, but I think we also have to respect that FOM [Formula One Management] is out there trying to sell circuit signage. And it is in our interests that FOM does the best job it can."
