Felipe Massa's F1 'Crashgate' case: Bombshell trial to go ahead Felipe Massa's seismic 'Crashgate' F1 trial will now go ahead – here's what we know so far, and who's said what

Massa's claim against FOM, Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA will be heard at trial!!

This is actually a big deal. Before anyone panics, Hamilton won't be surrendering his 2008 title; it's about Massa's entitlement to Β£64 million in damages! #F1 #SportsLaw

Pluribus you say? Waiting endlessly for the newest episode to drop? Definitely enjoying the pre-streaming of it all now that I don't have to carve entire hours out of my life to consume entertainment in one sitting.

Ferrari chairman vs Hamilton and Leclerc: symptomatic of an entrenched cultural problem

Nailed it @kimmycaulton.bsky.social.... really misread the room and drew a lot of comparisons that don't track.

I don’t know why content creators, who misuse copyrighted material, under the assumption that merely including a fair use disclaimer is enough, get angry.

There is also the assumption that content creators bring eyes to the sport. Even if that’s true, they don’t split their revenue with F1.

I know I've been banging on about this topic for a few days now, but this writer perfectly summarises everything wrong with clickbait "journalism", especially the #F1 landscape...

Nebulous and hyperbolic headlines, misleading and poorly sourced information.

Nike is crazy for dropping this minutes after the #WorldSeries with Kendrick on it? Chef’s kiss perfection.

Isn’t this part of sport though? I don’t think the umpire was back there looking to make a difference in the game.

It’s 4:30 am in London and I don’t regret staying up for game 7 one bit. What an instant classic. Congrats to the Dodgers. So many storylines. Absolutely demonstrated why it’s not over until it’s over.

Oddly enough one of the other guys is Australian (lowerlaptime) but yeah, it seems like women F1 content creators have better β€œsuccess” on short form platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Or only benefit when they’re a part of a larger team.

Alas, keep on carrying on with the good work. You are one of 5 creators I actually follow and support because you each offer something original. Everything else follows a formula (ha!) that I’m just not interested in anymore.

Especially if that’s the πŸ’Έ they stand to make! I’ll stop commenting.

It’s starting to feel like everything is going right for the Blue Jays. Can they close it out though??

It’s absolutely a dreadful self-referential cycle. And the β€œF1 content creator” space, you know what I mean, is 100% bought into it. It makes sure the wheel is constantly turning and I suppose they all profit from that in one way or another.

This, to me, felt like an escalation.

I’m up watching the World Series so we’re online at the same time!

That’s crazy money & makes sense why Planet F1 picked up the story. The journalist is struggling to answer my question on source material. Because I’ve got Press Reader and checked the print editions, this story doesn’t exist!

Fun fact: I went to grad school at Akron where I covered Chris Bassitt and the baseball team. If the #bluejays hang on to win, I’m pretty sure he’ll be the first and only pitcher to have become a champion.

And it gets better… @kimmycaulton.bsky.social this is how it jumps shark to YouTube. To this guy’s credit he does state that he tried to find the original source, couldn’t but assumed it had been written in print media (impossible in today’s day and age) yet he still used it as the cover art.

Thanks for sharing @kimmycaulton.bsky.social!
It really made me stop and think why such a popular β€œnews” account made a deliberate attempt to use the wrong news source? Spot the difference, how does an article cross reference one item but not the point of orgin regarding the breaking news? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

SCOOP: Hamilton to remain at Ferrari indefinitely… You heard it here first but won’t believe where the source of this info came from

🚨| EXCLUSIVE: Contrary to recent reports, I can now confirm that Lewis Hamilton will remain at Ferrari for the foreseeable future.

The streets are saying that people should closely examine sources before getting their hopes & dreams crushed regarding his departure based on misinformation.

The statue of limitation for breach of contract in England & Wales is 6 years so no joy there.

And that’s before you get to all the jurisdictional challenges with the parties Massa is suing and why he’s suing them in English courts.

The reason Massa’s case will likely fail is that F1/FOM/BE can and should rely on laches as an equitable defence against his claim which has clearly been brought with an unreasonable delay (17 years since crashgate).

I’m begging F1 content creators discussing the Massa case… please stop talking nonsense about β€œlegal arguments” if you don’t understand.

A King’s Counsel was paid a lot of money to argue why Masa’s case should be β€œstruck out”.

Everyone is rushing to share hot takes which are factually incorrect.

The 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix: Lewis, Lasting Advantages and Double Standards This is a long read because context is important, as you will soon understand, but TLDR: double standards exist, and yes, this applies to…

After taking time to reflect, I've put together some thoughts on the happenings at the Mexico City GP.

Sadly there has been a massive decline in reading comprehension and my anecdotal observations are that people have less time, pay less attention and are no longer capable of civil β€œdebate”. I remember doing debates in school and being able to discuss music, games, sport without abuse and slurs.
