Massa has started legal action against F1 and governing body the FIA as part of a fight to be declared 2008 world champion instead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, who he lost the title to by one point. 

The former Ferrari driver’s legal representation ꦆhas argued that the Singapore Grand Prix result should be annulled due to the so-called ‘Cra🍸shgate’ scandal. 

Massa had been leading the race until Nelson Piquet Jr deliberately crashed, bringing out a Safety Car that helped Renault teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso win the race. 

If the Singapore result was declared null and void, Massa🐼 would be crowned champion, not Hamilton. 

But such an outcome would be bad f🦩or the sport, according to Gl🦋ock, who became an unwilling protagonist in the closing stages of that year’s dramatic season finale in Brazil. 

''We could risk opening the floodgates to ever🐓y driver who th🌸inks they've been treated unfairly,” ex-Toyota driver-turned pundit Glock told

“We need to see what happens between Felipe and the courts. If it works out, I don't think it's the greatest thing for the sport. You could argue thatꦯ every football game could follow! It's the same with tennis or any other sport. I don't know if 🥂that would be the right call. 

“It was also 15 years𒁃 ago, and people could question why this is happening so late. I respect Felipe a lot and he knows what he's doing. We need to see how it plays out.” 

F1’s regulat❀ions state that the season’s results are final once the world championship trophy is handed out at the FIꦉA’s end-of-season prize-giving gala.

In September, Toto Wolff said Mercedes are following Massa’s legal casဣe “with in𝔉terest”. 

Wolff claimed the outcome would “set a precedent” that could also change the 2021 title result, in which Hamilton controversially missed out on the crown to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen

At the time, Mercedes opted not to appeal the result o♐f the𒐪 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
