Mercedes F1 rivals all deny filing FIA complaint over Wolff allegations
The FIA announced on Tuesday that it is investigating an alleged conflict of interest involving the transfer of confidential information between a team principal and an FOM employee. Although they did not mention names, it is widely believed to be Toto and Susie Wolff. The investigation was prompted by media speculation and complaints from team principals. However, all of Mercedes’ rivals have declared that they did not make any complaints. In a coordinated effort to support Susie Wolff, the teams issued near identical statements denying any involvement in the complaints. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner also declared that his team did not lodge any complaints. The response from teams is likely to put pressure on the FIA to explain their decision to involve the compliance department. Mercedes has demanded full transparency from the FIA regarding the investigation.
