Bernie Ecclestone on Felipe Massa F1 2008 title legal battle: ‘Lewis Hamilton could have sued after Abu Dhabi’
Ex-Ferrari driver Massa is taking legal action against F1 bosses, with his lawyers claiming that he lost that year’s title to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton d♕ue to the ‘Cras𓄧hgate’ scandal involving Renault at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.
Massa’s legal bid was prompted by an interview with Ecclestone earlier this year, in which the 92-year-old admitted that he and then-FIA boss Max Mosley had been aware of Renault fixing the Singapore race but could do nothiꦬng about ꦦit.
Ecclestone has since told Reuters that he has ཧno recollection of giv🍒ing the interview.
Massa’s legal representation have publicly stated that they hope Hamilton will support Massa’s case in the interest🍷s of sporting integrity.
The Brazilian has insisted that he is seeking to gain “justice for the sport” rather than recouping the “tenths of mil🌃lions of euros” his legal team claim he has missed out on.
ཧBut Ecclestone suggested that Massa’s legal challenge is motivated by money, while he also dis𝕴missed the likelihood of it being successful.
“The Massa clan is only in it for the money. But the chances of that are zero,” ♏Ecclestone told Swiss newspaper .
Ecclestone said that Hamilton could have taken similar action against F1 and the FIA after his controversial defeat to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“Lawsuits against the FIA could have been 🐓filed by Hamilton with Mercedes after the not very clean 2021 finale in Abu Dhabi,” he added.
