Lawyers representing former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa have given F1 and the FIA another month to complete their own “internal investigation” into the Brazilian’s challenge of the outcome of the 2008 world championship.
Earlier this year, Felipe Massa announced that he would be taking legal action over the events of 2008, where he lost out on the title to Lewis Hamilton. This was the closest he came to winning the Formula 1 championship in his career. The decision to pursue legal action stems from the ‘Crashgate’ scandal at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, where Renault fixed the race, costing Massa the chance to win. Massa’s lawyer confirmed that the FIA and FOM are conducting an internal investigation and have requested an extension to the deadline. They are seeking to know the new leadership’s position on the scandal and the injustice faced by Massa.
