Is Lewis Hamilton’s first F1 world championship under threat? Here’s what Felipe Massa’s $83 million lawsuit means for the British racing driver
Felipe Massa is suing F1, FIA, and Bernie Ecclestone for $83 million, claiming he was robbed of the 2008 championship due to the 'Crashgate' scandal. A London court ruled his case can proceed, acknowledging he has a strong chance of proving a conspiracy. While Lewis Hamilton's title remains unaffected, the trial could have significant financial and reputational consequences.
