Ecclestone on Massa legal battle: ‘Hamilton could have sued after Abu Dhabi’
Former Ferrari driver Massa has filed a legal action against F1 bosses, claiming that he lost the 2008 title to Hamilton due to the ‘Crashgate’ scandal involving Renault. This comes after Ecclestone admitted in an interview that he and Max Mosley were aware of Renault’s actions but couldn’t do anything about it. Ecclestone, however, now denies giving the interview and suggests that Massa’s motive is money. Massa’s legal team hopes that Hamilton will support their case for sporting integrity. Ecclestone also mentioned that Hamilton could have taken similar action against F1 and the FIA after the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
