Felipe Massa’s lawyers issue update: F1, FIA given extension complete “internal investigation”
Earlier this year, Massa announced that he would be pursuing legal action over the events of 2008 where he lost out on the title in the final race to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.
Massa finished just one-p💃oint behind Hamilton in the final standings - the closest he got to F1’s top prize in his lengthy career.
The 42-ye𒁏ar-old’s decision to go d﷽own a legal route stems from the ‘Crashgate’ scandal which occurred at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.
Renault’s fixing of the race in Singapore cost Massa the chance of winning that race - as he was on pole position and leading it at the time - but an early pit stop under t𓂃he Safety Car (caused 𓃲by Nelson Piquet Jr.’s deliberate crash) went wrong and saw him drop out of the points.
On Thursday evening, Massa lawyer, Bernardo Via🌄na, issued the following statement.
“FIA and FOM are comp𝔉leting an internal investigation and 💧have requested one last extension to the deadline they initially asked for, from Oct. 12th to Nov. 15th," it read.
“We have agreed to this final period 🔯because if the new administration is indeed looking into the matter in good faith, they will certainly reach th🤪e same conclusion we and so many people around the world have.
“𒈔We would like to know what Formula 1's new leader♔ship's position is on the recently disclosed scandal and the injustice faced by Felipe Massa."
