FIA drops investigation into Toto and Susie Wolff
On Tuesday, the governing body of Formula One announced that it was investigating an allegation of confidential information being shared between a team principal and a member of Formula One Management. This allegation stemmed from a media report claiming that Toto Wolff had made a comment based on privileged information only accessible to FOM personnel, potentially through his wife Susie Wolff’s position in the all-female race series. Mercedes, Susie Wolff, and other teams vehemently denied the allegation, suggesting alternative motives were at play. In a show of unity, the other nine teams released statements denying that they had lodged a complaint with the FIA. This put immense pressure on the FIA to explain why they had initiated the investigation. However, on Thursday evening, the FIA dropped the matter, stating that after reviewing FOM’s Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy, they were satisfied that measures were in place to prevent unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. The FIA reaffirmed its commitment to integrity and fairness in global motorsport.
