Why has Felipe Massa launched legal action against F1? Everything explained
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, may face difficulty in his pursuit of an eighth title as Felipe Massa, a retired driver, is contesting the result of the 2008 championship. Massa believes that the FIA and Formula One Management failed to take action despite having knowledge of irregularities in the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, which had a significant impact on the championship. Hamilton had narrowly edged out Massa for the title that year, and Massa considers it his only genuine shot at a world championship. Massa’s challenge is based on the belief that the race’s outcome had damaged the championship’s reputation. Despite winning the opening race in 2008, Hamilton faced strong competition from Ferrari, with Massa winning two races and leading the championship at one point. The Singapore race played a crucial role in determining the championship, and Massa aims to overturn the result.
