Felipe Massa has filed a lawsuit against the FIA and FOM regarding the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.
Former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has filed a lawsuit against the FIA, FOM, and ex-F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone over the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix events. The lawsuit was officially lodged in the High Court of Justice, confirmed by Massa’s representatives. Known as ‘Crashgate’, the incident involved Nelson Piquet Jr deliberately crashing to aid teammate Fernando Alonso. Massa’s failed pit-stop caused him not to score points that day, potentially altering the championship outcome. The legal action seeks declarations of the FIA’s failure to act promptly and claims for damages due to financial losses. Efforts for a resolution have been unsuccessful, leading to legal proceedings initiated by Massa.
