Prompted by an inte👍rview given by Bernie Ecclestone earlier this year, former Ferrari driver Massa has started a legal process against F1 and the FIA r💮elated to the impact the Singapore Grand Prix ‘Crashgate’ scandal had on the outcome of that year’s world title. 

Massa missed out on the world championship to McLaren’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton by a siꦅngle point and claims the fixing of the race in ꦍSingapore by Renault ultimately cost him the title.

Last week, Massa’s legal r🤡epresentation said they hoped that ♐Hamilton would support the Brazilian’s bid to effectively strip him of his first drivers’ crown in the interests of sporting integrity. 

Speaking at this weekend’s Singapore ꧃Grand Prix, Mercedes boss Wolff said the outcome of Massa’s lawsuit will “set a precedent” for F1. 

“Well, [i💧t’s] interesting to follow,” Wolff said. 

“Clearly not something that anybody saw coming. The rules are pretty clear in Formula 1. There’s a civil case behind it. It will certainly set a precedent, 🗹whatever it is.

“We’re looking 🍒from the sidelines with curiosity.” 

Mercedes opted not to appeal the result of the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after Hamilton was controversially denied the chance to win a record eighth title by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen. 

Verstappen clinched both the race victory and the championship after then FIA race director Michael Maᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsi mishandled a late Safety Car period by ignoring two parts of the regulations to force a final-lap restart. 

Wolff avoided giving a firm answer when asked if Massa’s legal action may prompt Mercedes to reope꧋n the case surrounding Abu Dhabi 2021. 

“The FIA commented on the 2021 race with a clear statement, so 𒁏that’s why we are looking at it wಌith interest,” he responded.
