Felipe Massa and his lawyers have no intention of giving up in the reconstruction of the 2008 World for which they ask for the reassignment of title went, by just one point, to Lewis Hamilton. A story that recently resurfaced after the declarations of the former F1 patron, Bernie Ecclestone, on the famous Crashgate in Singapore 2008 that he would have decided the championship. An episode that the FIA and F1 were aware of even before the end of the world championship and which Massa clung to to claim the world championship. The legal battle is still ongoing and the lawyers who are assisting Massa in the matter, according to what was recently declared by thelawyer Bernardo Viana, they would have asked for the support of a particular person. With a move that left everyone particularly surprised.
Lawyers ask for help... in Hamilton!
In the reconstruction of what happened in Singapore and in 2008, the team of lawyers would have asked for the support not of just any person but of the man to whom the title so dreamed of and now claimed by Felipe Massa went, namely Lewis Hamilton. According to the lawyers, a statement from him could help them shed light on the truth, admitting that the FIA and F1 covered up everything only to then establish the voluntary nature of Piquet Jr.'s accident only a year later, as assigned. It is not the first request that has been made by the team of lawyers. In fact, Massa also requested Ferrari's help. At the time, Stefano Domenicali, now head of F1, was at the wall. A rather uncomfortable position.
“We have nothing against him, on the contrary he is an important ambassador of sport throughout the world and has always defended sporting integrity – Viana told Reuters. He is also well-liked in Brazil as an honorary citizen, For this reason I hope he will make us feel his support".
Regardless of Lewis' goodwill and his love for Brazil, it would be unthinkable to hope for his help considering that this is his first world championship of his career and that he is doing everything to win the eighth, which would establish him as the leading most successful in history.
