Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur has labelled the FIA’s recent investigation into Toto and Susie Wolff as an “embarrassing” incident
Last week, there was a supposed case of confidential information being exchanged between an F1 team principal and a member of FOM personnel, which led to an investigation by the FIA Compliance Department. However, the FIA later announced that there was no ongoing investigation and that they were satisfied with the procedures in place. This statement prompted a harsh response from Toto and Susie Wolff, who revealed that they are currently in legal talks with the FIA. Alfa Romeo team principal Fred Vasseur criticized the FIA’s handling of the situation and suggested that it could have been dealt with privately to avoid embarrassment. Despite the controversy, the incident united all the F1 teams, who posted a collective statement showing support for Susie Wolff and denying any involvement in the FIA’s action. Vasseur sees this unity as a positive outcome and an opportunity for the teams to discuss issues with other stakeholders in the sport.
