Excerpt:
"Asked if the 2021 result could also be reopened if Massa is in any way successful with his legal challenge, Wolff said: "And the FIA commented on the 2021 race with a clear statement.

“So that’s why we’re looking at it with interest.”"

    I guess they’ll settle for an undisclosed sum. Formula 1 doesn’t want to open the can of worms that is second guessing the decisions of the stewards.

      This has nothing to do with the stewards.

      Allegations and evidence of Piquet being asked to deliberately crash were raised. Almost immediately afterwards. The FIA made the choice not to follow up with an investigation until after the prize giving ceremony, when the results were locked in place.

      That’s why Massa is taking action now. This only came out publicly this year.
