Follow usFormer Ferrari driver Felipe Massa plans to evaluate whether there are any legal routes that could help him challenge the outcome of the 2008 Formula 1 world championship he lost to Lewis Hamilton.
The Brazilian will act because of the recent comments from former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, who offered fresh insight into the critical 2008 Singapore Grand Prix that proved hugely costly to Massa’s title ambitions that year.
In that race Nelson Piquet Jr. crashed deliberately and brought out a safety car that ultimately helped his then Renault team-mate Fernando Alonso win the race.
The controversy also had a huge influence on the title battle, as the safety car triggered a botched pitstop from Massa’s Ferrari crew that dropped the then leader well down the order and he finished 13th, while main title rival Hamilton grabbed third.
The points swing on that day arguably decided the world championship outcome as Hamilton ended the campaign just one point ahead of Massa in the standings after the Brazilian Grand Prix.
