Ferrari’s Vasseur: FIA/Wolff saga was ’embarrassing for F1′
Last week, the FIA announced that it was investigating a potential conflict of interest between Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and F1 Academy head Susie Wolff. The allegations included the exchange of confidential information. However, less than 48 hours later, the FIA dropped the matter and stated that they were satisfied with the processes in place to prevent unauthorized disclosure. The Wolffs criticized the public nature of the probe and felt that their reputations were harmed. Ferrari team principal, Frederic Vasseur, found the whole saga embarrassing and unnecessary, emphasizing that there was no need for a public statement in the first place. All 10 teams in F1 issued a coordinated message supporting Susie Wolff and denying any involvement in the probe, showing rare unity among the teams.
