    Former Formula One driver Felipe Massa has accused motor racing's governing body of conspiring to prevent him winning the 2008 title

    Former Formula One driver Felipe Massa has accused motor racing's governing body of conspiring to prevent him winning the 2008 title


    The Brazilian's launching a legal battle against the FIA and F1's management arm... claiming he is the rightful champion, despite finishing runner-up to Lewis Hamilton, 15 years ago.

    The theory goes that Renault's Nelson Piquet Junior deliberately crashed at the Singapore Grand Prix to help then-teammate Fernando Alonso win.

    The crash brought a safety car out, which forced Massa to squander his original advantage.

    A subsequent calamitous pit stop dropped the Ferrari driver drop to 13th.
