Felipe Massa has hit back at claims that his legal pursuit against the 2008 F1 world championship could set a precedent for others, explaining why his case is completely different to Damon Hill’s in 1994 or Lewis Hamilton’s in 2021.
Felipe Massa’s lawyers have announced that they will be challenging the result of the 2008 season due to the deliberate crash that occurred in Singapore. Renault ordered Nelson Piquet Jr. to crash in order to benefit Fernando Alonso. This resulted in a Safety Car period that affected Massa’s race, and he eventually lost the championship by just one point. Massa is taking legal action after Bernie Ecclestone suggested that he and Max Mosley were aware of the incident but did not take any action. Massa argues that his case is different from other controversial seasons because it involves manipulation and sabotage, rather than errors or technical issues.
