Felipe Massa's appeal in his legal action over the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix will be heard by the UK Supreme Court on February 2 and 3, 2027.

The court has listed two days for Massa's challenge after earlier proceedings narrowed the case. The former Ferrari driver is pursuing Formula 1, the FIA and Bernie Ecclestone over the handling of the race manipulated by Renault's deliberate Nelson Piquet Jr. crash.

Massa argues that the result cost him the 2008 World Championship, which Lewis Hamilton won by one point. The Singapore race continued after the crash and Fernando Alonso won after benefiting from a pit stop made before the safety car.

The Supreme Court case concerns whether Massa's remaining unlawful-means conspiracy claim can continue. It will not itself rerun the Grand Prix or award a championship at the February hearing.

If the appellants succeed, the surviving claim will end. If they lose, that part of Massa's case can proceed through the courts, where the underlying evidence and requested damages would face further examination.

The 2008 events became public the following year, leading to an FIA investigation and sanctions. Massa began the present legal action after later comments by Ecclestone revived questions about what senior figures knew during the championship season.

Nearly two decades after the chequered flag, the next official result will therefore come from five judges rather than a timing screen. It may decide whether Massa gets a trial, not whether he gets the trophy.
