Flavio Briatore’s return to Renault-backed Alpine has rocked Formula 1 news this week. The Italian’s triumphant return as a consultant to the French team marks his first official role in the sport since his forced departure following the explosive ‘Crashgate’ scandal. It’s a shocking and thrilling turn of events for all passionate fans of the sport!
In the midst of this hurricane, Felipe Massa, involved in a lawsuit against the FIA and F1 to annul the results of the controversial 2008 Singapore GP – which was manipulated by a Machiavellian plan by Briatore using Nelsinho Piquet to guarantee Fernando Alonso’s victory – maintained a restrained stance, but full of subtext.
“The news speaks for itself, there is no comment, the news speaks for itself,” Massa told Motorsport.com exclusively at Velocitta during this weekend’s Stock Car round. His simple words, yet loaded with profound meaning, resounded like thunder in the paddock of the world’s top motorsport category.
And with a hint of sharp sarcasm, Massa answered the question about the irony of his own trouble with F1 last year – when he was asked not to attend the Italian GP – while Briatore was welcomed back. “Yeah, there are a lot of strange things in this world,” he said, leaving the tension and perplexity that many fans feel in the air.
Regarding his ongoing case, Massa highlighted the combative and determined spirit of his team of lawyers. “It is an intense moment, with a lot of work on the part of the entire team, so what I can say is that there is a very intense, focused team and things are moving forward,” he said, reflecting the hope and incessant fight for justice. “Since we got into this, our team understands that what happened to me was not right, it was not fair, not only to me, but to the sport,” he concluded, with a passion that only true champions possess.
This ongoing drama, full of twists and turns, reminds us why we love Formula 1 – a world where the excitement never ceases and the heroes continue to fight, against all odds.
