Wolff: Mercedes tracking Massa’s legal bid ‘with curiosity’
Lewis Hamilton won the 2008 Formula 1 title by one point over Felipe Massa, but controversy arose from the Singapore Grand Prix that year. Fernando Alonso won the race thanks to the “Crashgate” scandal, where Nelson Piquet Jr. intentionally crashed to benefit Alonso. Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosely did not disclose their knowledge of the incident until Piquet Jr. made it public in 2009. Massa started legal proceedings when he learned about Ecclestone’s involvement. Toto Wolff, Mercedes team principal, finds the situation interesting and is curious to see what precedent it sets. Hamilton, on the other hand, prefers to focus on the present and helping his team. After Friday’s practice sessions, Hamilton was in a positive mood, calling it his best session of the year.
