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.”"

    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.

      If we’re going to litigate every dodgy decision in F1, lawyers will be buying mansions

        Ignoring and even covering up a deliberate attempt at fixing a race is a bit more than a dodgy decision imo

              Yeah, I’m not agreeing with it. If Spygate hadn’t happened, maybe things would have been different. Last thing the sport needed was more scandal, hurts advertising revenues, and that was the most important thing to Bernie and Mosley.
