I honestly wouldn't be mad.

I wouldn't mind but I'd much rather see a couple of potential top-level drivers vying for that seat.

Looks like he's after a payday.

The result of the 2008 WDC is not about to be changed.

Ninety two year old Bernie can’t remember anything about the incident.
Max... can’t be contacted.

Got to feel for Massa Sr.

Massa finished that race 13th after Ferrari fouled up his pit stop (no surprise there) so even if they had disqualified Alonso (which is all they could have done), Massa would still have scored 0 and Hamilton 8 instead of 6. Disqualify Alonso and Hamilton wins the title by 3 points instead of 1. Don't think Massa's thought this through.

All that is going to happen is that Massa will spend a load of money on lawyers and end up poorer, not richer.

Was the ‘screwed up’ pit stop caused by the incident.
( Or would they have screwed up regardless).
“DONT PANIC”...

Perhaps FM will go after Ferrari for that afterwards.

i beleive the suggestion is he saying the race should have been declared Null so Hamilton scores 0 but you're right, this would never have happened

What does Massa tainting his legacy have to do with 2023 silly season?

Apologies.
Quite right... I was tempted to start a new thread.

I read, a while back, his passion was ice hockey, however his dad steered him into motorsport and he wasn't that enthused.

Risking life and limb at 200mph is a hell of a thing to be doing if it's not your passion.

Okay it's from Croft... but it could be true... “I mean, he was a massive tennis talent when he was younger, one of the best youngsters in Canada at the time, and I just wonder if he might go off and find something that fulfils him more and brings more excitement to him."
