Felipe Massa’s former engineer Rob Smedley commented on the Brazilian driver’s decision to sue the FIA and Formula 1 over their collusion and inaction during the 2008 season following Nelsinho Pique’s accident. Felipe believes that the inaction of the officials robbed him of the championship title that season.
“It’s no secret that Felipe is a very good friend of mine,” says Rob Smedley. – I can tell you that he is very concerned about this. At least that’s the impression you get when he speaks emotionally and convincingly about this issue.
He decided to take this step because he believes he is acting in the name of justice. Everyone has the right to achieve what they think is right. That is exactly the case with Felipe.
There are many parties involved in the case. We’re talking about things that happened in the past, so I have no idea how this story will end. I pay close attention to what’s going on, and that’s all I can or want to do. It is still interesting, if it is decided to revise the results, how this will affect not only Formula 1, but also other sports.
If the decision is made in Felipe’s favor, which is what he wants, then it will be interesting to see what the sport will do with other unfair decisions from the past.”
