Felipe Massa is suing FIA for $81 million USD over Crash-Gate, the 2008 GP of Singapore.

His suit claims he’d have won the WDC except for Crash-Gate, and by his accounting not winning WDC cost him $82 million in earnings.

This will be interesting, the case is filed in London and the UK courts are ‘looser pay’ so I have to guess Massa has a solid case.

I hope someone in his legal team took the time to read up on the statute of limitations...

It’s been 16 years; at a glance that would put him way outside any term.
