A court case involving Felipe Massa and the crashgate scandal got underway in London earlier this week.
The majority of F1 fans do not support Felipe Massa being acknowledged as the rightful champion of the 2008 season.
A court case in London has started this week, where Massa is claiming compensation from F1 and the FIA due to their knowledge of the Crashgate scandal during the same season.
The scandal involved Renault instructing Nelson Piquet Jr. to crash at the Singapore Grand Prix to help Fernando Alonso win with the assistance of a safety car.
Although Massa narrowly missed out on the title to Lewis Hamilton, he is not aiming to revoke Hamilton’s championship, but rather aims to be recognized as the true 2008 champion and earn approximately £64 million in lost earnings.
The FIA polled the fans on whether Massa should be acknowledged, with two-thirds against the idea and only 33% in favor of recognizing him as the rightful champion.
The complete poll results are available for review below the article.
