Felipe Massa takes legal action against FIA and F1 bosses
Representatives of former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa have started legal action against Formula One bosses and the governing FIA seeking substantial damages resulting from an alleged 'conspiracy' that denied him the 2008 championship. The Letter Before Claim said the Brazilian, now 42, was robbed of the title through actions at the highest level that cost him tens of millions of euros in lost earnings and bonuses. It said Massa had instructed lawyers in Britain, Brazil, the United States, Switzerland and France.
