The Ferrari boss was the first team principal to address to speak out after the FIA’s investigation into an alleged conflict of interest involving Toto and Susie Wolff.
Frederic Vasseur criticized the FIA’s handling of the investigation into Toto and Susie Wolff, calling it “embarrassing” for Formula 1. The investigation was launched after allegations of confidential information being passed between the F1 boss and FOM employee. The FIA quickly closed the case, but not before the other teams denied any involvement, and Mercedes was taken by surprise. Mercedes is now involved in legal proceedings against the FIA. Vasseur believes the investigation should have been handled differently, with more care in the statements made. Despite the controversy, Vasseur sees a positive outcome in the unity shown by the teams and hopes for future discussions and stability in the sport.
