The FIA has concluded its investigation into an alleged conflict of interest involving Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff. Wolff, who has been leading the Mercedes team since 2013, is married to Susie Wolff, the managing director of the F1 Academy racing series. Rival teams had reportedly made complaints to the FIA regarding the potential for a conflict of interest between the couple. However, both Mercedes and Susie Wolff denied these claims. In a joint statement, the nine other F1 teams also expressed their support and confirmed that they had not complained to the FIA. After reviewing the F1 Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy and confirming the implementation of protective measures, the FIA determined that there is no potential for foul play due to the high-ranking positions held by the Wolffs. The FIA reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining integrity and fairness in global motorsport.
