Especialista em F1 identifica problema que está atrapalhando Felipe Massa em sua tentativa de recuperar o campeonato de F1 de 2008 de Lewis Hamilton.

Felipe Massa sues Formula 1 (F1) and the International Automobile Federation (FIA) in an attempt to challenge the result of the 2008 World Championship. The championship, won by Lewis Hamilton, was surrounded by controversy due to the Crashgate Scandal during the Singapore Grand Prix. This scandal resulted in Massa losing the championship by just one point. After receiving little assistance from F1 and the FIA, the 42-year-old driver officially took legal action against the organizations.

A well-known F1 analyst shared his perspective on Massa’s lawsuit. He pointed out that Massa faced issues during a pit stop, which affected the race result. The analyst emphasized that the 2008 race was far from a well-executed event. He also mentioned that if Massa had finished on the podium and the race was less chaotic, there could have been a possibility to challenge the results.

As a result, it may be challenging for Massa to disqualify the Singapore Grand Prix. The problems that occurred during the race were the main factors that contributed to Massa’s inability to score enough points. Despite this, there is an argument that he deserved the points he earned. However, annulling the race results would be a significant development and could set a precedent for the future of Formula 1.

Massa has previously stated that his motivation for filing the lawsuit is not just financial. However, he is seeking compensation of $76 million from the FIA and F1. The analyst highlighted how few people recognized Massa’s true intentions behind the lawsuit. Nevertheless, he expressed his belief in Massa’s sincerity, stating that money was not his main motive.

The analyst also elaborated on Massa’s objective in filing the lawsuit and praised the former world champion for his courage in taking legal action against F1 and the FIA. He acknowledged that Massa had a valid point throughout the legal process, which unfolded during the 2024 season.

In the end, only time will reveal the outcome of Massa’s lawsuit. He raised a significant argument, and Lewis Hamilton’s championship legacy is also at stake. If the results were reversed, the seven-time world champion would lose a substantial part of his legacy in Formula 1.
