Massa expects “help” from Ferrari in legal pursuit of 2008 title
Last month, Felipe Massa’s lawyers announced that they are taking legal action against F1 bosses and the FIA regarding the 2008 F1 season outcome. In that season, Lewis Hamilton won the drivers’ title by just one point, defeating Massa. Massa’s decision to pursue legal action came after Bernie Ecclestone revealed that he and former FIA president Max Mosley were aware of Nelson Piquet Jr.’s deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix as part of ‘Crashgate’. This crash forced Massa, who was leading the race, into an early pit stop where Ferrari failed to remove the fuel hose, costing him the victory and potentially the title. Massa believes that the title is rightfully his and he has hired a team of strong lawyers to fight for justice in the sport, although he has not yet received support from Ferrari. Nonetheless, Massa remains optimistic and determined to fight for justice until the end.
