Felipe Massa’s 2008 Formula 1 title claim under attack in London High Court

The legal challenge by former Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa to revisit the controversial 2008 World Championship has been met with immediate and fierce resistance in the British High Court.

Defence lawyers representing the FIA, Formula One Management (FOM), and former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone applied for the case to be dismissed, labelling Massa’s claim as "torturous" and "overly ambitious."

The three-day preliminary hearing, which opened in London this week, centres on Massa’s assertion that he was unfairly denied the 2008 title due to the infamous “Crashgate” scandal at the Singapore Grand Prix.
