Felipe Massa's recent revelation that he is seeking advice about trying to redress the outcome of the 2008 World Championship is very interesting. He was certainly robbed of that award by the Renault team's subverting of the Singapore race. But was he the best driver that year?
I know: it's irrelevant if he was or wasn't. The world championship is a contest conceived with a set of rules and if those rules are not respected and that changes the outcome, it's not relevant whether that results in the better driver winning or losing. The contest is just an arithmetical construct to popularise the sport. It doesn't define who the best driver is. Massa may have a case. As may Lewis Hamilton regarding Abu Dhabi '21, but let's not get into that again.
