As initially reported by Reuters, representatives of the former Ferrari driver 𓄧are seeking substantial damages resulting from an alleged ‘conspiracy’ against Massa and his title bid 15 years ago.

Massa lost out on the 2008 title to Ham💧ilt✅on in dramatic circumstances in Brazil.

Hamilton overtook Timo Gl💛ock on the final lap to pip Massa to the title by just one-point.

Reuters note𓄧d that they had seen a letter sent from the London office of Enyo Law which read: “Simply put, Mr Massa is the rightful 2008 Driver's Champion, and F1 and FIA deliberately ignored the misconduct that cheated him out of that title. 

“Mr Massa is unable to fully quantify his losses at this stage but estimates tha🉐t they are likely to exceed tens of millions of Euros.

“This amount does not cover the serious moral and reputational losses s🍨uffered by Mr Massa.”

The le🀅tter was addressed to F1 boss Stefano Domenicali and FIA president Mohammed ben Sul🐽ayem.

It also stated that Massa could "pursue legal acti༺on in order to seek compensation for the harm he has suffered as well as recognition tha💟t, but for those unlawful acts, he would have been awarded the 2008 Championship.”

🍒Massa’s decision to pursue legal action comes after a startling revelation that former CEO Bernie Ecclestone that he and former FIA president Max Mosley ꦅwas aware that Nelson Piquet Jr. crashed on purpose at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix as part of 'crash-gate'.

Piquet’s crash cost Massa a likely win in Singapore given that the Ferrari driver was leading the race and forced into an unscheduled pit sto🐈p.

During the pit stop, a fuel hose was stuck in Massa’s car and t🅷he operational error cost Massa crucial points, and ultimately the title.
