Lawyers for former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa have started legal action against Formula One bosses and the governing FIA seeking substantial damages resulting from an alleged 'conspiracy' that denied him the 2008 championship.
The Letter Before Claim said the Brazilian, now 42, was robbed of the title through actions at the highest level that cost him tens of millions of euros in lost earnings and bonuses.A Letter Before Claim is a required formal legal notice before court proceedings can be initiated.
"Mr Massa is unable to fully quantify his losses at this stage but estimates that they are likely to exceed tens of millions of Euros.The letter was addressed to Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali, previously Massa's team boss at Ferrari, and Paris-based FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
The crash triggered the safety car and benefited Piquet's Spanish team mate Fernando Alonso, who won the race. Massa sought legal advice after former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone told a German website in March that he and former FIA president Max Mosley knew at the time that Piquet crashed deliberately but had not acted."If the most important people from Formula One and the FIA knew in 2008 and didn’t do anything, you think that was fair? It’s not fair."Ecclestone was quoted as saying, in translation, that "we wanted to protect the sport and save it from a huge scandal".
