FIA has responded to a lawsuit filed by Felipe Massa, former Formula 1 driver. As previously reported, a court case initiated by Massa has started in London. The ex-driver is attempting to challenge the results of the 2008 championship.

Mr Massa’s claim is as torturous as it is overly ambitious. The multi-millionaire Brazil national and resident brings a claim in this jurisdiction of England and Wales founded on an alleged breach of the supranational rulebook of the FIA, a private international sporting organisation domiciled in France, concerning events at and around the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix over 17 years ago, on 28 September 2008.
According to preliminary information, the Brazilian athlete seeks recognition as the rightful champion of that season and demands compensation of approximately £64 million (about $84.5 million).
