Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur believes the FIA’s investigation into Toto and Susie Wolff was “quite embarrassing” for F1.
Last week, there was a dramatic sequence of events in the sport, starting with the announcement that the FIA would be investigating the Wolffs due to allegations of exchanging confidential information. This raised concerns of a conflict of interest, as Susie is the head of the F1 Academy and Wolff is the Mercedes team principal. However, 24 hours later, all 10 teams released an identical statement expressing their support for the Wolffs. Embarrassingly for the FIA, they later confirmed that they would no longer be investigating the allegations. Alfa Romeo team principal, Vasseur, shared his view, calling the situation embarrassing for the sport and suggesting that the FIA should have thoroughly investigated before making any announcements. He also pointed out that the unity shown by the teams, even with Red Bull’s support for Toto Wolff, was a positive development and an opportunity for further discussion among stakeholders.
