F1 risks "disarray" if Massa wins legal bid over 2008 title – Wolff
Brazilian former Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa has launched a challenge against the FIA and FOM regarding their handling of the investigation into the 2008 ‘Crashgate’ controversy. Massa believes there was a conspiracy that prevented the investigation from taking place until after the world title was decided, with the FIA becoming aware of it at the 2008 season finale. Massa’s legal team is currently awaiting a response from the FIA and FOM before deciding on their next steps. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is following the situation with interest, as it could set a precedent for potential actions over the 2021 championship. However, Wolff is skeptical about Massa’s chances of succeeding. Massa remains steadfast in his pursuit of justice, noting that skepticism from others shows the seriousness and importance of his case. He hopes that the FIA and FOM will be open to helping uncover the truth about the 2008 investigation and repairing past mistakes for the good of the sport.
