Excerpt:
"Asked if the 2021 result could also be reopened if Massa is in any way successful with his legal challenge, Wolff said: "And the FIA commented on the 2021 race with a clear statement.

"So that's why we're looking at it with interest.""

I guess they'll settle for an undisclosed sum. Formula 1 doesn't want to open the can of worms that is second guessing the decisions of the stewards.

This has nothing to do with the stewards.

Allegations and evidence of Piquet being asked to deliberately crash were raised. Almost immediately afterwards. The FIA made the choice not to follow up with an investigation until after the prize giving ceremony, when the results were locked in place.

That's why Massa is taking action now. This only came out publicly this year.

If we're going to litigate every dodgy decision in F1, lawyers will be buying mansions

Ignoring and even covering up a deliberate attempt at fixing a race is a bit more than a dodgy decision imo

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"dodgy" that's sure one way to refer to fixing the championship result.

[–] bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That wasn't the intent

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The intent was to allow a dubious result to stand. That's match fixing.

Yeah, I'm not agreeing with it. If Spygate hadn't happened, maybe things would have been different. Last thing the sport needed was more scandal, hurts advertising revenues, and that was the most important thing to Bernie and Mosley.
