Massa’s £64m F1 Lawsuit Awaits Ruling as Hamilton Distances Himself

The High Court has reserved judgment on whether the 2008 Crashgate damages claim proceeds to a full trial.

Overview

  • After a three-day hearing in London before Mr Justice Robert Jay, a decision on Felipe Massa’s claim will be issued at a later date.
  • Lawyers for Bernie Ecclestone, Formula One Management and the FIA argue the case is time‑barred, while Ecclestone disputes remembering the 2023 interview cited by Massa.
  • Massa seeks £64 million in alleged lost earnings and an apology over investigative failures, and he is not asking to overturn the 2008 championship.
  • Lewis Hamilton, who is not a party to the suit, said he is not following the case and that it has nothing to do with him.
  • The Brazilian returned to the Interlagos paddock and said he is waiting for the court’s decision after what he called a strong presentation by his legal team.
