Massa is pushing to get the outcome of the 2008 title overturned after losing out to Lewis Hami🅺lton by just one poi꧃nt in a dramatic season finale at Interlagos.

Massa’s decision to pursue legal action is linked to the Crashgate scandal - where Renault instructed Nelson Piquet Jr. to crash on purpose to allow 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso to win the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, a race where Massaꦫ started on pole and looked set to🐈 win the race.

During the Singapore weekend, Wolff admitted that he was “looking from the sidelines with curiosity” hinting that if a precedent was set, Mercedes may look at reopening Abu Dhab🦂i 2021.

However, Wolff is doubtful Massa will be successful in his legal bid due to the ꦉramifications it would have on F1.

“I don't think he has a ཧcase, to be honest," 💖Wolff said in Singapore. “We are signing up to sporting regulations. They're very clear, and you commit as a licence holder.

“If everybody were to open up situations then the sport would be in disarray, and especially when you look at the 🍰full championships: there's so many things that have an influence whether you win or lose that I don't see the case to be honest.

“On the civil case side, I don't know, let's eva✅luate whether there's some damages that could be claimed. 

“I think reputation, they have a difficult position, what is it? But yeah, for me, this is like watc💫hing a 𝓀telenovela, or soap opera playing out in front of me.”
