Felipe Massa says “I’m not doing this for money” ahead of awkward Lewis Hamilton reunion at F1 Miami Grand Prix
Massa was alℱready celebrating in 2008, thinking he had clinched the title, when he was pipped by a young Hamilton who was t♎hen driving for McLaren.
The ad𒉰dition of the ‘crashgate’ scandal has enabled Massa to see🅘k to reverse results from 15 years ago.
‘Crashgate’ saw Rena🐻ult’s Nelson Piquet Jr intentionally crash at the Singapore Grand Prix, for which he was later punished. The knock-on effect was that Ferrari botched Massaܫ’s pitstop, costing him points in the title chase.
Bernie Ecc♉lestone, then-F1 supremo, has since claimed that senior officials knew about Piquet Jr’s intentional crash.
"I think the first thing when Bernie's comment [came out] I was really, really surprised, for those comments,” Massa told from the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Miami Grand Prix, where he could awkwardly reunite with Hamilton.
“Because everybody knows what's happened in the race, everything came ☂out in 2009.
"We hear after that♏ also that Charlie [Whiting] knew and Max [Mosley], so for me iꦆt's the injustice for the sport.
“It shows that maybe every decision on the legal side, everything that happens, ꧒it wꩵas not correct on that situation.
“So I took the deci🐠sion to study on the legal side everything𝕴 that happened.
"I'm not d𓄧oing this for money. I'm not doing this fo🐷r anything.
“Because it's not what I aim to, but I'm doin🍰g this for the justice.ꦿ
“Not only for me, but for my friends, my country, my family, Ferrari and Ferrari fans, so in the end there are so𒁃 many things.
"You know what a championship does for a country? You can develop the country, we ๊don't have Brazilian drivers now racing as well, s💫o there are so many things.
"This is racing, everything that we💝nt wrong is🅺 part of the game. When you have a problem in the engine or when you have a mistake.
“You cannot really say 'I was wrong because my engine broke down' No. But what happened on that race is a different sit🌟uati🐲on.”
