The former team principal of Benetton, after embracing the former Ferrari driver, does the same with Pipo, Felipe’s son.
Flavio Briatore’s presence doesn’t bother him at all. On the contrary, although no one noticed, the two privately embrace each other warmly during the “Caschi d’Oro 2023” ceremony by Autosprint. “No one knows that Nathan Falco, Flavio’s son, and my Pipo went to school together in Monte Carlo, being very good friends. It’s not a coincidence that on a personal level, Flavio and I have an excellent relationship that still persists beyond the challenges on the track.”
“STOLEN” F1 TITLE IN 2008
Felipe Massa enjoys a Legend Helmet, expresses heartfelt thanks, and thinks about the future, which, for him, means mainly two things: “One immediate, from a competitive point of view, the other from a legal and justice perspective. On the track, I can say that I will debut at the end of January at the Daytona 24 Hours with a Riley chassis, alongside my compatriot Fraga, who already has experience in Lmp3. It will be an additional experience in my career. Then, I will continue my commitment to Brazilian Stock Car racing. As for my quest for justice for the 2008 F1 World Championship title, I find increasing solidarity among F1 personalities and fans, so I really hope to realize my dream of convincing the sports authority to change its decision. A world championship ex aequo between me and Hamilton? It could be a solution, and I would accept it. I would feel content, even though such a decision has never been made to date.” – he explained.
It is premature to ask him which court he intends to go to for the legal action against sports authorities: “I cannot reveal it now because it is still too early to show my cards, but surely this will be a fundamental choice. Certainly, I will continue to seek the justice I deserve, given the controversial ending of 2008. Finally, I want to clarify one thing: when Montezemolo says that I am the only Brazilian who cannot play football, he is wrong, confusing me with Rubens Barrichello. Because I do play soccer, and I am very good at it!”
