Mercedes boss Toto Wolff is interested in Felipe Massa's attempt to have the 2008 F1 title overturned, believing it may set a precedent that could also change the 2021 result.

Excerpt:
"Asked if the 2021 result could also be reopened if Massa is in any way successful with his legal challenge, Wolff said: "And the FIA commented on the 2021 race with a clear statement.

“So that’s why we’re looking at it with interest.”"

    If we’re going to litigate every dodgy decision in F1, lawyers will be buying mansions

      Ignoring and even covering up a deliberate attempt at fixing a race is a bit more than a dodgy decision imo

      “dodgy” that’s sure one way to refer to fixing the championship result.

          The intent was to allow a dubious result to stand. That’s match fixing.

            Yeah, I’m not agreeing with it. If Spygate hadn’t happened, maybe things would have been different. Last thing the sport needed was more scandal, hurts advertising revenues, and that was the most important thing to Bernie and Mosley.
