(I do wonder who’s behind this challenge, as I can’t believe Massa is funding it himself. A very old man who now lives in Brazil?)

Did I read somewhere that Big Bern was a supporter?

That would seem odd as Massa cited BCE as the one who said they knew at the time, which Bernie has since denied saying. Why would he then be funding Massa to follow it through? It would be like a defendant funding the prosecution.

But this is Bernie.. a man who would enter a revolving door behind you and come out ahead....

I feel sympathy for him, naturally: to have the WC snatched out of his grasp was mortifying to watch, whether you're a fan of the actual WC or not. However, that doesn't change the facts: he lost that season, without any FIA intervention. There's nothing to be gained by the action he's taking if changing that is what he wants

I dunno, given the FIA had done so much to try to bung him the championship it felt pretty just from here. Which makes his trying to sue the FIA for not doing even more pretty idiotic tbh. Unless he'd already bought and paid for the championship...

This.

Massa also has very little chance of proving the powers that be knew about the alleged race fix before the end of the season. MM is not around anymore and Bernie is so old that he will say one thing one day and another the next.

You're thinking of the Belgian fiasco? I take your point...
