- Brazilian law firm says action launched in London’s High Court
- Proceedings relate to crash by Nelson Piquet Jr at Singapore race
Lewis Hamilton’s first Formula One world championship is the subject of legal action after Felipe Massa filed a lawsuit against Formula One, its governing body the FIA and the sport’s former supremo Bernie Ecclestone in London’s High Court on Monday.
Massa, 42, believes he is the rightful winner of the 2008 title he lost to Hamilton by just a single point following the “Crashgate” scandal at that year’s Singapore Grand Prix.
