Next month, the hearing over the ‘Crashgate’ lawsuit is set to get underway at the High Court in the United Kingdom.
Felipe Massa is seeking up to $82 million in damages in the ‘Crashgate’ lawsuit against Formula One Management, the FIA and former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. The former Ferrari driver will travel to London next month for his first appearance in the High Court on October 28, concerning the 2008 ‘Crashgate’ scandal involving Renault. Massa lost the drivers’ title to Lewis Hamilton by a single point, with the lawsuit now tied to comments made by Ecclestone in 2023. Despite the denials from Ecclestone, the FIA, and Formula One Management, Massa emphasizes accountability in preventing future fraud in the sport. He is determined to pursue the lawsuit to achieve a just and fair outcome for himself, motorsport in Brazil, and the sport as a whole.
