Lewis Hamilton comments on Felipe Massa's $64M lawsuit over 2008 F1 World Title and Massa's return amid Crashgate battle

Lewis Hamilton has publicly stated he has no opinion on Felipe Massa's ongoing $82 million lawsuit against Bernie Ecclestone, the FIA, and F1 concerning the 2008 World Championship. Massa, who lost the title to Hamilton in controversial circumstances linked to the 'Crashgate' scandal, is seeking damages and recognition for his lost championship, claiming that Ecclestone and FIA officials knew during the season about the deliberate crash orchestrated by Nelson Piquet Jr. Hamilton, who famously won the 2008 title at Interlagos, emphasized he is focused on his racing and not involved in the legal case. Massa recently appeared at his home Grand Prix in Brazil, awaiting the court’s decision after a three-day hearing in London. He insists his legal action aims for 'sporting justice' rather than personal revenge and remains optimistic about the outcome. Meanwhile, Massa returned to the F1 paddock at Interlagos, marking a rare appearance during his legal battle, and expressed his hope for justice, highlighting the significance of the race and his ongoing fight against what he calls 'injustice.' The court’s verdict on whether the case proceeds to a full trial is imminent, with Massa seeking compensation for his perceived wrongful loss of the 2008 championship. The case has garnered significant attention, as it involves allegations of conspiracy and misconduct at the highest levels of F1, with Massa asserting his case is about righting a historic wrong.
