Formula One risks disarray in the unlikely event of Felipe Massa winning a threatened legal claim for the 2008 world championship, according to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

So he was curious, now its going to be disarray?

C’mon man, what do you want him to say? His driver could end up losing his championship for no fault of his. He won’t just sit by without protesting.
- But they then can use the same or similar argument to flip the 2021 championship back to Lewis.
  
  Is that not an example of a sport in disarray? Having two titles end up in court cases years after the seasons are over?
  
  I really don't see enough similarities for that. The Massa-case is resting on the FIA knowing aboutfoul play and covering it up. In 2021, whatever you may think of it, there was no cover up, and an investigation after a protest by Merc stated that it was within the rules.
- Why say anything at all?
  
  He’s just doing his job. He needs to speak out about something that would be unfavorable to him. He has to lead his team/org too and they’d like to see their boss take a stand.
  
  Besides, he’s most probably just responding to a reporter’s question.
Toto being pro match fixing is not surprising.
He probably realized that Latifi crashing in the Mercedes B team was not deliberate manipulation from Red Bull and a crash is the only thing both events have in common.
Worst part is that this shit will get its own dts episode
