As a layman and a fan of the sport I do find that line of thought most reasonable. But at the end of the day, I would not be so sure about that being the actual chain of events that would unfold.
The Lord works in mysterious ways, and having taken part in some lawsuits, all I can say, is that jurisprudence sometimes works in even stranger ways. Going to court is always a throw of the dice, if you are not outright dismissed by the court, and I don't see that happening. Besides, there is a legal precedent from English football, although it is probably more applicable if Ferrari suing.

I doubt Massa will sue, but let us wait and see about that. He did get a rather hard strike to his head with a blunt object you know.
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
