Susie Wolff: Insulting allegations rooted in “intimidatory and misogynistic” behaviour
Susie Wolff, wife of Mercedes F1 team boss Toto Wolff, is under investigation by the FIA for a potential conflict of interest and passing on confidential information. The investigation was announced in a statement by the FIA’s compliance department. Both F1 and Mercedes have denied the allegations, but Wolff expressed her dismay on social media, suggesting hidden motives and sexist behavior. She emphasized her dedication and commitment to breaking down barriers as a woman in the sport. The reference to misogynistic behavior is particularly notable as FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has faced scrutiny for sexist remarks he made in the past. He defended his comments, stating that he did not claim men were smarter than women, but rather highlighted a mutual dislike when either gender believes they are smarter.
