What we have learned about Massa’s £64m F1 court action
One year after considering legal action over F1 and FIA’s handling of the 2008 Singapore GP ‘crashgate’ controversy, Massa has initiated legal proceedings seeking redress. Bernie Ecclestone’s revelations sparked Massa’s actions as he now believes that FIA should have conducted a proper investigation into the controversy. Had FIA acted differently, Massa believes he would have been the champion instead of Lewis Hamilton. Details of the case became more specific once legal actions were taken and British High Court documents were revealed. Massa’s main aim is not to overturn the title outcome, but rather seek damages for his lost opportunities and earnings due to FIA’s alleged wrong actions. The court proceedings are also aiming for a declaration from FIA regarding the breach of its regulations in handling the Singapore crash incident.
