Felipe Massa continues his legal battle for the 2008 Formula 1 championship. After Bernie Ecclestone admits that the Crashgate scandal is out before the season ends, Massa tries to get the Singapore Grand Prix canceled through an army of lawyers.
If the race is cancelled, Lewis Hamilton's third place will also be canceled and Massa will be the 2008 champion.
It remains unclear how successfully Massa will exit this process. No matter how much the lawyer team tries to squeeze the FIA and F1, it is very difficult to break the registration of the season.
One of the most curious issues in this regard is Ferrari's stance. A championship that will come to Massa will also be written in Ferrari's name.
Massa says he has not yet received support from Ferrari.
Speaking in a program on TG1TV, Massa said:
"One thing is certain: I own that title, and Ferrari's 16th drivers' title."
“I hired a team of very strong lawyers. We will fight to the end to ensure justice in this sport.”
“I don't understand why a manipulation case can't be concluded properly even after a year, two years or 15 years.”
“At the moment I have not yet received the support of Ferrari, but I expect help from that side as well. I am optimistic, I will fight until the end for justice.”
It is not yet clear how Massa's legal battle will end. However, those who think that Massa is right believe that the championship will be given to him at the end of this struggle.
Here are the possible outcomes of the legal battle for Massa's title:
- If Massa is successful: Massa will become the 2008 Formula 1 champion. Ferrari will also win the 16th drivers' championship.
- If Massa fails: Hamilton will go on to become the 2008 champion. Ferrari will also win its 15th drivers' championship.
