Former Ferrari and FIA President Jean Todt has said that the infamous Singapore Grand Prix in 2008 was 'rigged.'

Massa had appealed the decision earlier this summer, following the 'Crashgate' incident that ended him from winning the Singapore Grand Prix and the Driver's Championship. He said he was hoping for 'justice.' His remarks came after his legal counsel, Sao Paulo Vieira Rezende Advogados, begged Hamilton to assist him in his lawsuit in September.

SINGAPORE NATHAN MCEVOY: The possibility has arisen after Felipe Massa opened legal proceedings over the 2008 world championship, which he claims he was robbed of by the so-called 'Crashgate' scandal during the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix a 15 years ago. The result should be scrubbed, according to Massa's lawyers, because Renault ordered Nelsinho Piquet to crash, putting the safety car out of the equation so teammate Fernando Alonso could win.

JONATHAN McEVOY: If Felipe Massa had any sense of decorum, he would accept the results of a world championship that took place 15 years ago. However, the Brazilian has only revealed that he wants reparations for his injury to Lewis Hamilton in 2008, the time of the Briton's first and most dramatic title triumph on the last corner of the season in Sao Paulo. Massa came so close to glory himself that when Hamilton passed Timo Glock, his family was jumping for joy in the Ferrari garage. Their boy, the local favorite, had taken the chequered flag as champion, but had the award cruelly removed from him as the last threads of the race unravelled behind him.

On the last lap of the season's most exciting finishes in Formula One, the former Ferrari world champion lost the title to McLaren's Lewis Hamilton by just a single point. Massa's hopes for the title had already been shattered in Singapore when it was revealed that Nelson Piquet had deliberately crashed his Renault into the wall in an attempt to support teammate Fernando Alonso's own championship aspirations. Massa dropped from first to 13th in the case of 'Crashgate,' according to the campaign's founder, Alonso. Massa eventually lost the championship by a point on the final day to Hamilton, which had pivotal implications. Ecclestone's remarks last month said that the F1 top brass knew of the Renault affair 'during the 2008 season,' even though it would have taken time to reverse the final decision, only angering Massa. And now, the 42-year-old, who pleaded guilty of taking legal action against the FIA, has reiterated his intention to press forward with what he considers a solid argument.

Daniel Ricciardo is overheard giving HUGE clue to his future as fans lash out at 'disgusting' label

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 5, 2022
Daniel Ricciardo's future plans in Formula F1 may have been revealed in a pre-race video. Fans are outrage over a two-word name given to the troubled Aussie, who finished 17th at the Dutch Grand Prix, one of his season's worst performances.

Daniel Ricciardo has a Chance to compete in Alpine, Haas, or even Williams, and even Williams has an Indy Car bid on the table

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 4, 2022
Ricciardo's departure was hardly surprising, in fact. Several media outlets had forecast that the 33-year-old's resignation would take some time, with Oscar Piastri casting an alarming shadow over his position, and even veteran's most ardent supporters acknowledge that his results haven't been up to par. Although many foresee Piastri's future, Ricciardo's next steps seem to be all the more uncertain. Ricciardo's pedigree will unquestionably be of concern to some teams lower down the grid, but a look at his 2022 record makes for no compelling argument for the Aussie.
