Felipe Massa firmly believes that he is the rightful champion of the 2008 Formula 1 World Championship. The Brazilian driver has gained significant attention online after taking legal action against the FIA, F1, and the former F1 boss in relation to the CRASHGATE incident that occurred in 2008. Massa is convinced that the world title was unjustly taken away from him and is prepared to fiercely fight for his rights.
The CRASHGATE incident during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix is well-known among motorsports fans, as it had a profound impact on the final standings. Felipe Massa narrowly missed out on the championship by a mere one point. Since initiating legal proceedings against the aforementioned organizations, there has been a great deal of discussion, prompting Massa to step forward and share his perspective.
For a considerable period of time, the Brazilian driver has been engaged in a battle against the CRASHGATE incident. It has been revealed that the case has been filed at London’s High Court. However, in contrast to Massa’s stance, a former Ferrari engineer and close friend of Massa, has chosen to support the opposing side. Smedley believes that while Massa feels betrayed by what transpired in the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, ultimately, Lewis Hamilton was declared the winner at the end of the season.
Felipe Massa’s legal dispute with the FIA and F1 is likely to be protracted. Given the typically slow pace of legal proceedings, it may take several months before a final decision is reached regarding the case as a whole. If Massa emerges victorious, it would undoubtedly come as a major shock to the Formula 1 community.
