Massa lost the title to Lewis Hamilton by one point.
Massa lost that championship by a single-point to Hamilton, the first of a joint-record seven titles for the British sporting legend.claimed that it should have been the former Ferrari star who claimed victory that year., with Hamilton finishing third and Massa 13th and out of the points.
A year later it was revealed that Renault had ordered Alonso’s teammate Nelson Piquet Jr. to crash on purpose to bring out the safety car, which strategically helped the Spaniard to victory. Ecclestone claims that he and then-FIA president Max Mosley knew of ‘crashgate’ at the time but decided not to act in order to ‘protect the sport from a huge scandal’, and if they had spoken up they would have cancelled the results from the race and that would have made Massa champion.
