The governing body, FIA, announced on Tuesday that it is investigating a potential conflict of interest involving the transfer of confidential information between a team principal and an FOM employee. While no names were mentioned, it is widely believed that the individuals involved are Toto and Susie Wolff. This investigation was prompted by media speculation and an article in the BusinessF1 magazine. Although there were reports of complaints from team principals, it has been revealed that all of Mercedes’ rivals have denied making any such complaints. The teams have issued near identical statements in support of Susie Wolff and denying any involvement in the allegations. This unified response puts pressure on the FIA to explain the reason behind involving its compliance department. As of Wednesday morning, Mercedes has still not received any official correspondence from the FIA regarding the investigation. In a statement, Mercedes demanded full transparency from the FIA and invited prompt correspondence regarding the investigation.
