Felipe Massa's legal team has granted the FIA and FOM until 15 November to finish their investigations into the Brazilian's bid to overturn the 2008 Formula 1 world championship outcome.
Massa believes he was the victim of a conspiracy to cover up the 2008 Singapore GP Crashgate scandal in which Renault's Nelson Piquet Jr. crashed on purpose to let team-mate Fernando Alonso win. If the race result had been thrown out at the time, Massa would have claimed the drivers' championship instead of losing it to McLaren's Lewis Hamilton by one point.

'To be honest, we spoke in the letters on the legal side, but I don't see the point why Ferrari would not be on my side,' he said.
