P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Felipe Massa has revealed that his legal challenge against Formula 1, the FIA, and former series rights holder Bernie Ecclestone over his lost 2008 title to Lewis Hamilton is ongoing.
Massa initiated legal action in March with the Brazilian law firm Vieira Rezende Advogas to seek retribution for his lost 2008 crown. The lawsuit, filed in London’s High Court, alleges that the FIA failed to promptly investigate Nelson Piquet Junior’s crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, claiming Massa would have won the championship if proper actions were taken. Bernie Ecclestone’s revelation of a cover-up with Charlie Whiting and Max Mosley during the 2008 season shed light on the ‘Crashgate’ scandal, where Piquet Jr. deliberately crashed to help Fernando Alonso win. Despite leading the Singapore GP pre-crash, a disastrous Ferrari pit-stop relegated Massa to 15th, losing the championship to Hamilton by one point. The fight for justice and truth continues, as Massa and his team of professionals aim to uncover the full extent of the scandal and seek fairness for the sport and his personal loss.
