Toto and Susie Wolff are under a magnifying glass from the FIA. The couple are suspected of having passed on confidential information, which led the governing body led by Mohammed Ben Sulayem to launch an investigation. The FIA's statement caused great outrage among Susie Wolff and the Mercedes Formula 1 team, as well as F1.
F1 not happy with FIA investigation into Wolff
In a response, F1 said it had taken note of "the public statement made by the FIA this evening that was not shared with them in advance." Earlier, Susie Wolff, Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton also commented on the issue.
"We have complete confidence that the allegations are wrong, and we have robust processes and procedures that ensure the segregation of information and responsibilities in the event of any potential conflict of interest," said F1's statement.
"We are confident that no member of our team has made any unauthorised disclosure to a team principal and would caution anyone against making imprudent and serious allegations without substance."
