Excerpt:
"Asked if the 2021 result could also be reopened if Massa is in any way successful with his legal challenge, Wolff said: "And the FIA commented on the 2021 race with a clear statement.

"So that's why we're looking at it with interest.""

Except the small thing that this is actual foul play by a team that was kept secret by the FIA.

2021 was an a strange call by the FIA. But there was no coverup, and it was already protested by Merc and ruled as being correct.

There is just no comparison between the two, whatever you may think of 2021.

This is all nonsense - the Massa case, the Marko comments, the Wikipedia thing: Wolff is just trying to mess with and distract Red Bull

Massa is getting fleeced by his legal team, there is no way this is going anywhere. Mosley is dead and Bernie isn't going to bat for Massa on this.

Bernie came out in an interview and said that they chose to cover up for Renault and that he regrets his decision.

That interview is what spurred Massa taking action.

I still think that was just Bernie trying to get himself back in the headlines.

That msn story is actually a Daily Mirror story, a UK tabloid which is just quoting an F1 insider story quoting Bernie's biodoc

He'd just say he thought he knew and can't recall if called as witness.
