Sept 19 (Reuters) - Formula One risks disarray in the unlikely event of Felipe Massa winning a threatened legal claim for the 2008 world championship, according to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff. The Brazilian lost that title by a point to Britain's Lewis Hamilton, then at McLaren and now at Mercedes and a seven-time world champion. "I don't think he has a case, to be honest," Wolff told reporters at the latest edition of the Singapore Grand Prix last weekend. "For me this is like watching a telenovela or soap opera playing out in front of me," added the Austrian. Wolff had said earlier that Massa's case was sure to set a precedent and Mercedes were watching "with curiosity".

☆ Mercedes watching Massa case with interest, says Wolff
  + stars: | 2023-09-15 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Former Ferrari driver Massa lost that title by a point to Lewis Hamilton, now at Mercedes and a seven-time world champion. The Brazilian, 42, says an alleged "conspiracy" denied him the title because the sport's leaders knew the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix was manipulated but took no action until a year later. Wolff suggested that outcome could also be challenged if Massa were to succeed with his case. "The FIA commented on the 2021 race with a clear statement so that's why we are looking at it with interest," he said. The governing FIA said in March 2022 after an enquiry that "the results of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the FIA Formula One World Championship are valid, final and cannot now be changed."

☆ Formula One under scrutiny over balance between safety and entertainment
  + stars: | 2023-04-03 | by ( Ian Ransom | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Stewards had hoped racing would decide the winner but the carnage only served to trigger a third red flag and a processional win behind a safety car for Red Bull's Max Verstappen. DAMAGE BILLSStriking the right balance between safety and sport has long challenged Formula One, which moved to tighten its safety car rules after controversy hit the title-deciding 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Officials no longer have such discretion but the application of safety car rules continues to flummox drivers and team bosses alike. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said he was not sure when to expect a standard safety car versus a virtual one or a red flag after incidents. "Standing starts are the most vulnerable part of any grand prix and we did three of them," said Red Bull boss Christian Horner.
☆ Masi's door open to Mercedes but Wolff won't be knocking

The choice is theirs," Masi told News Corp media. "I've always had an open door policy and will always have an open door policy, since the moment that I arrived in this F1 paddock and that continues." Hamilton said on Thursday he had no plans to meet Masi and was only focussed on his future. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff echoed Hamilton, saying he wanted to leave the past behind. "No," he said when asked if he would meet Masi.
☆ Max Verstappen angry at ‘disrespectful’ comments as Red Bull snubs Sky Sports

CNN —Max Verstappen may be having a record-breaking season on the track but he’s far from happy with some of the media coverage he has been receiving lately. And at one point it is enough, I don’t accept it,” Verstappen told reporters after the race. After the previous race – the US Grand Prix – Sky Sports pundit Ted Kravitz said Lewis Hamilton was “robbed” of last year’s world title after Verstappen beat him in dramatic circumstances. Verstappen and Christian Horner, pictured here at the US Grand Prix, both refused to speak to Sky Sports in Mexico.

☆ Verstappen, Red Bull snub Sky over 'derogatory' comments
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Dutch driver Verstappen, who has won a record 14 races in a single season, told reporters there had been "a constant kind of digging, being disrespectful" and especially from one individual. I don't accept it ... you can't live in the past, you just have to move on," the 25-year-old told reporters. There was no immediate comment from Sky, who also have access to interviews carried out by Formula One television. Verstappen won his first championship last year at the Abu Dhabi season-ender, with the Red Bull driver going into the race level on points with Mercedes Lewis Hamilton. Red Bull principal Christian Horner said he took the decision to shun Sky after comments at the U.S. Grand Prix where Red Bull won the constructors' title for the first time since 2013.
