Bernie Ecclestone says Michael Schumacher is 'still the sole record World Champion' because Lewis Hamilton 'got lucky' in 2008 when Felipe Massa was 'cheated'. F1
Bernie Ecclestone: Felipe Massa was cheated out of 2008 title, Lewis Hamilton got luckyBernie Ecclestone believes Michael Schumacher should stand alone on seven World titles, after all Felipe Massa was “cheated” out of the 2008 title while Lewis Hamilton got “lucky”.
Ecclestone and then FIA president Max Mosley were made aware of the allegation that year already but it didn’t come to light until the following season. “We decided not to do anything for now. We wanted to protect the sport and save it from a huge scandal. That’s why I used angelic tongues to persuade my former driver Nelson Piquet to keep calm for the time being.”Dropped by Renault after the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix, Piquet Jr made his allegations known, sparking an investigation.
