Mercedes is taking an interest in Felipe Massa’s quest for “justice” over the 2008 Formula 1 title fight. But as our video explores, there’s potential for chaos if contentious championship outcomes start being revisited many years on
Mercedes Formula 1 team principal Toto Wolff is closely following the controversy surrounding Felipe Massa’s attempt to seek “justice” for the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix outcome, as it could set a precedent for revisiting other contentious title decisions, such as Lewis Hamilton’s defeat to Max Verstappen in 2021. However, Wolff firmly believes that there is no case to answer, and changing results 15 years later would only cause disarray in F1. In our latest video, we explore the details of Massa’s legal pursuit, the potential gain for Mercedes if the bid was successful (despite Wolff’s opposition), the consequences of opening the Pandora’s box of revisiting past outcomes, and why it is imperative to prevent such a scenario from happening.
