Mercedes rejects “unsubstantiated allegations” against Wolff
The FIA compliance department is investigating a potential conflict of interest involving the passing of confidential information between a member of the FOM personnel and a team principal. The investigation was initiated following media speculation and allegations made by team principals regarding Toto Wolff, the boss of the Mercedes team, and his wife Susie. Mercedes has strongly defended Wolff against the allegations, stating that they are unsubstantiated. They have had no communication from the FIA Compliance Department regarding the matter and were surprised to learn about the investigation through a media statement. Mercedes is seeking a swift resolution to the issue and calls for full transparency from the FIA regarding the investigation. This is not the first time this season that the FIA Compliance Department has been involved in an investigation, as Lance Stroll was previously investigated and received a formal warning for his behavior after the Qatar Grand Prix.
