Massa lawsuit over 2008 F1 title loss survives attempts to have it thrown out

Felipe Massa's 64 million pounds ($83 million) claim against Formula 1, its governing body the FIA and Bernie Ecclestone can go to trial, a High Court judge ruled on Thursday. Lewis Hamilton’s first F1 world championship in 2008 is the subject of legal action, with Brazilian driver Massa saying he is the rightful winner of the title. Massa lost by a single point after Nelson Piquet Jr. supposedly deliberately crashed at the Singapore Grand Prix.
