Massa is pushing to get the outcome of the 2008 title overturned after losing out to Lewis Hamilton by just one point in a dramatic season finale at Intওerlagos.

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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso to win the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, a race where Massa started on pole and looked set to win the ra❀ce.

During the Singapore weekend, Wolff admitted that he was “lookওing from the sidelines with cu💫riosity” hinting that if a precedent was set, Mercedes may look at reopening Abu Dhabi 2021.

However, Wolff is doubtful Massa will be s♏uccessful in his legal bid due to the ramifications it would have on F1.

“I don't think he has a case, to be honest," W🉐olff said in Singapore. “We are signing up to sporting regulations. They'r🌱e very clear, and you commit as a licence holder.

“If everybody ꦑwere 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 th🐻at I don't see the case to be honest.

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

“I think reputation, they have a difficult pos♐ition, what is it? But yeah, for me, this is like watching a telenovela, or soap opera playing out in front of me.”
