MASSA ‘STILL WAITING FOR SUPPORT FROM FERRARI TO OVERCOME 2008 F1 CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

Former F1 driver Felipe Massa is waiting for support from Ferrari to challenge the 2008 championship results, citing manipulation in the Grand Prix Singapore.

In a surprising turn of events, Felipe Massa is making waves in the world of Formula 1 as he looks to overturn Lewis Hamilton’s 2008 victory. The Brazilian driver recently spoke out about his mission, expressing his desire for Ferrari’s support.

Massa seeks support from Ferrari

On the 15th anniversary of the 2008 race in Brazil, in an exclusive interview with Racing News 365, Massa, who is not seeking any financial solution, has made it clear that he wholeheartedly believes that the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix 15 years ago was undeniably rigged. He believes the results of the championship were tainted by manipulation. However, his former racing team, Ferrari, has remained exceptionally silent since the first allegations, leaving a fog of suspense covering the F1 community.

Massa expressed confidence that his former team, Ferrari, who shared defeat in the championship, will rally behind him. The Brazilian rider said:

“I hope to always be together and have support because in the end we lost the championship together.

“I love Ferrari; it is a part of my heart, and I am certainly a passionate Ferrari fan and will dedicate the rest of my life to all that has happened during my time with the team, to the fans, the opportunities and the dreams I had.

His clear and well-documented deep affection for Ferrari was evident throughout the interview. Massa’s legal team is waiting for documents from the FIA ​​and Formula 1, as the deadline gradually approaches and the Brazilian team really turns up the heat. Despite the looming deadline, Massa remains hopeful that Ferrari will join him in fighting for the result. Massa continued speaking.

“So I really expected it to be on my side because we lost the championship together because of the manipulation that happened.”

Drawing the circle

Directly comparing Toto Wolff and the 2021 season, Massa said:

“Every time you hear Toto Wolff talk about 2021, he is your biggest supporter, so I I really can’t believe that Ferrari wouldn’t be in this situation with me.

Although some have criticized him as being solely responsible for the season-long controversy, Massa expressed disbelief that Ferrari would not support him in his bid to overturn result.

“They are silent right now, but I really believe that they will stand by me, and I really hope that they will because it is the right thing to do given what happened to us. What happened to me also happened to Ferrari.

Massa’s one-man approach in his bid to regain the 2008 title has received support not just in Brazil but from fans around the world. “The response has been very, very favorable,” he shared.

“Everywhere I go, in airports, supermarkets, restaurants, people stop me and tell me they are on my side and I have to fight because it doesn’t matter what happens to you , is not part of the sport, and that I am the champion.

” Undeterred by some hesitation in the racing world, Massa pressed and emphasized the reasons behind the call for cancellation abandoned the results despite some strange looks and almost complacent radio silence from those he would have hoped would come out in support of his cause.

“A lot of people in the racing world, sometimes you can see that they are a bit shy to show their support for me, but there are a lot of people who support me, even in motorsport, so I don’t do.
don’t do it alone.

“I’m doing it for my country because Brazil lost due to not being recognized as champions. Helping motorsport grow is unbelievable – and we have no drivers Brazilians in Formula 1 right now.”
