Former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa visited the Interlagos track where the Brazilian Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, but did not get Formula One drivers or team executives to openly support his claims that he was “robbed” of the 2008 title, which he lost by one point to Lewis Hamilton.

The Renault team was eventually punished but the results stood, giving a path for Hamilton to beat Massa to the drivers’ title. Earlier this year, former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone said he learned in 2008 that the crash had been deliberate. On Thursday, drivers Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas, Logan Sargeant, Charles Leclerc, and Carlos Sainz were asked during a press conference whether they support Massa’s claims. The room was filled with silence. Moments later, Ferrari’s Sainz said: “I don’t think anything about this.”The next day, Formula One management said Massa was “welcome” to the race, but even in his presence no drivers or teams executives choose to speak in his favor.
