Judge Delays Verdict in Massa Court Case
The legal dispute involving Felipe Massa, Bernie Ecclestone, Formula One Management (FOM), and the FIA concerning the 2008 world championship has been paused, with the judge reserving his decision.
After a three-day hearing in London, Judge Robert Jay declared that no immediate ruling would be issued. He stated,
“The verdict is reserved and will be announced at a later date.”
No additional information was provided. According to f1-insider.com, this means both parties must wait as the court decides whether the case will proceed further.
FOM’s lawyer Anneliese Day told the court:
“Mr Massa will not get the prize he wants from this lawsuit. The only winners will be the lawyers.”
