Ecclestone, FOM and FIA allowed to appeal Massa conspiracy trial

Summary

Bernie Ecclestone, Formula One Management, and the FIA have received permission to appeal against the ruling that permits Felipe Massa’s 2008 conspiracy claim to advance to a full trial. The court’s decision came on June 11, 2026, allowing the respondents to contest the earlier judgment.
