Former F1 driver Massa sues FIA, FOM and Ecclestone in a London court to claim 2008 title

Brazil Massa F1 Lawsuit
March 11, 2024

SAO PAULO (AP) โ€” Former Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa said on Monday he had filed a lawsuit in a London court against auto racing's governing body FIA, series owner Formula One Management (FOM) and Bernie Ecclestone amid his attempt to claim the 2008 title.

The 42-year-old Brazilian added that he is seeking to receive an amount in damages that he did not disclose.

Massa, who has said since last year he is the โ€œrightfulโ€ champion of 2008 due to the incident known as "Crashgate", was the runner-up to Lewis Hamilton.

Former Ferrari and Williams driver Massa said in a statement his case would be heard at the Kingโ€™s Bench Division of the High Court.
