Mercedes: Massa F1 case could set precedent amid Abu Dhabi 2021 questions
it could potentially pave the way for other controversial FIA decisions, including the 2021 championship, to be contested in a legal setting. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has expressed interest in the Massa case, suggesting that it could set a precedent in Formula 1. The FIA has already admitted to making mistakes in its handling of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, opening the door for potential challenges to the championship outcome. While the current FIA statutes state that the International Court of Appeal is the highest authority in ruling on matters, Massa’s legal action could challenge this jurisdiction and create a new precedent in the sport.
