#To be clear I'm not gonna keep indulging every conspiracy theory you drop in my asks

Bernie Ecclestone said in March of this year that he knew of the scandal in 2008, but didn't say anything because "We wanted to protect the sport and save it from a huge scandal." So why say anything now? He went on to undermine Lewis in that same article, saying that Massa did everything right, while Lewis had "all the luck in the world." I don't understand why you don't believe that the FIA is corrupt after everything they've done so far....
Okay so. I debated even answering this but we're all bored anyway so let's indulge. Recap : you think the FIA orchestrated Massa going public about suing over the 2008 WDC to prevent Merc from doing it over AD 2021.
Let's break this down :
"The FIA"
Who? Who in the FIA? The whole association? The whole-ass association that oversees 200+ national motorsport organizations? All of them are corrupt for some reason? Now in this ask you mention Bernie. You are aware that Bernie doesn't work for the FIA, right? Do you think they had a meeting somehow and decided that Massa suing them would be the best course of action about something that Merc had decided not to sue them over in the first place???
"Orchestrated Massa going public about suing over the 2008 WDC"
What did they do exactly? Pay Massa to sue them? Pay Massa so he'd PUBLICLY sue them? First of all, how would it be good for them to get sued? Second of all, aren't court proceedings generally public anyway?
"It prevents Merc from doing it over AD2021."
HOW. Just HOW. If anything, if Massa wins his case, it sets a precedent for Merc to do the same thing, because he shouldn't win due to the statute of limitations. Also again : not everything is about AD21. Please. The only people still talking about it are a subset of Lewis fans and Toto. Move on. Don't forget, but move on.
"Why is Bernie talking now?"
Because he's a fucking idiot who thinks he's untouchable. Why? Because of the statute of limitations I've just mentioned. When he realised it did have consequences he pretended he never said it in the first place.
"He went on to undermine Lewis in the same article."
First of all if you're gonna cite an article CITE THE ARTICLE so I can read it. Second of all Bernie never needed a reason or an excuse to undermine Lewis, he's been doing it for years, because he's a racist piece of shit. Third of all what does that have to do with it? Because Bernie badmouthed Lewis it means the FIA orchestrated Massa suing them? PLEASE.
"I don't understand why you don't believe that the FIA is corrupt after everything they've done so far…"
Me not taking your unsourced unbased and overall absurd conspiracy theory seriously doesn't mean I think the FIA is good or whatever. It just means I don't think conspiracy theories are worth my time. But yeah, I also don't think such huge organizations are black or white good or bad. This is called nuance. Have they fucked up numerous times? Sure. Why don't we focus on these documented times they did fuck up rather than make up new ones that don't have any basis? Like. Idk. The time they knew about crashgate and didn't do anything about it?!
And now tell me Anon, why does it bother you so much that I don't agree with you that you needed to send me two asks about it? If you believe in your theory, what does it matter to you that I don't?
