Interesting to hear the legal claims from Massa regarding 2008, not much F1 could have done at the time, but certainly in hindsight he's got a very good case following the revelations the Piquet Singapore crash was deliberate.

In my opinion, the fact that the FIA later banned a number of Renault managers and technicians, leaves the FIA with little ground to stand on.

Massa deserves compensation as a minimum, and quite possibly the 2008 world title.

I suspect the FIA defence will assert Ecclestone has dementia or is otherwise losing his 93 year old marbles.

There is no way that the world championship will get reallocated to Massa.
Not sure what his game is, but he needs to let it go.

If this goes through then pandoras box get its lid completely blown off.

Any sport that has had some kind of insider better would be open to have the result changed and the knockons from all of that.
Of course Hamilton would lose his title, and then immediatly start up his own lawsuit on the one he lost to verstappen because of the broken rules by Massi.
There was talk about Alonso been given a 20second penalty and then having it overturned late last year so he could get his 100th podium was the result of corruption and potentially betting as well.

The tour de france would have its winner changed every year everytime there is a new retrospective drug bust there.
etc

THEN you have the people complaining about their bets not being honoured at the time, even though 2-10-30 years later a result is changed to what they had at the time.
Then class action lawsuits start of the back of that....

So no.
It won't be changed.
