“It would be strange” Ferrari’s reaction to Felipe Massa pursuing legal action over ‘08 title
Last week, ’s lawyers announced that th༺ey were🐲 pursuing legal action over the 2008 world championship.
Their argument stems from ‘Crashgate’ at the Singapore Grand Prix when Nelson Piquet Jr. crashed on purpose to assist teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso to the win by bringing out the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car.
In 2009, after Rena💫ult sacked Piquet Jr, the FIA were soon made aware of what happened, resulting in the removal of team boss Flavio Briatore and other key personnel.
Earlier t🐲his year, F1 supremo Ber🌳nie Ecclestone revealed that he and ex-FIA president Max Mosley knew what happened in 2008 but didn’t take action.
ꦚThus, this is the basis of Massa’s argument, however, Ecclestone - as reported by Reuters - denies making the aforementioned interview where he admitted he and Mosley were aware.
Speaking to the media, including mahꦯbx.com, ahead of t🍰he Dutch Grand Prix, Vasseur was asked about Massa’s legal pursuit - he drove for Ferrari between 2006 and 2013.
“As youꦫ can imagine I don’t want to make any comment on this matter,” he said. “I have a good relationship with all the stakeholders and it’s quite tricky.
“For sure, the circumstances were completely exceptional but more generally and not about💦 Felipe, I think we’re also trying to [push] the FIA to know the result of the event at the chequered flag. I don’t want to make any comments. For sure it would be strange.
"I am not a big fan of changing the result 15 minutes𒉰 after the flag [let alone 15 years]."
