FIA opens compliance investigation into potential Wolff conflict of interest
The FIA has taken action following complaints from F1 team principals about the activities of Toto and Susie Wolff. Toto is the team principal of Mercedes while Susie is the managing director of the F1 Academy. Concerns have been raised about the couple having access to privileged information that could be seen as a conflict of interest. It is suggested that Toto has confidential knowledge about FOM’s activities, while Susie is well-informed about team principal discussions that could benefit FOM. A recent comment made by Toto, based on information that could only have come from FOM, triggered other bosses to complain. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been approached about the potential conflict of interest and has asked the FIA Compliance Department to investigate.
