Toto Wolff says Mercedes are following Felipe Massa's legal case around the 2008 world championship
'with interest' as the outcome will 'set a precedent'. Massa lost the 2008 title by one point to Lewis Hamilton, who drove for McLaren at the time, and the Brazilian is developing a legal case arguing that the result of that year's Singapore GP should be annulled due to the 'Crashgate' scandal, whereby Renault told Nelson Piquet Jr to crash intentionally to benefit his team-mate Fernando Alonso, who eventually won.
Masi called the Safety Car back into the pit lane without it having completed an additional lap as required by the Formula 1 Sporting Regulations and only allowed the five lapped cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to unlap themselves and not all lapped cars.Verstappen, on fresh tyres, subsequently overtook Hamilton on the race's final lap to claim the race win and world title.
