FIA launches investigation into Wolff: 'We are aware'

Toto Wolff, along with partner Susie Wolff, is under scrutiny by the FIA for possibly passing on confidential information. The Mercedes team boss came under scrutiny a few days ago as fellow team bosses suspected him of leaking information.

The FIA is aware of the rumours circulating and let it be known in a statement that they are not taking it lightly. Indeed, the FIA previously received several messages from team bosses expressing concerns about the two front-runners. One anonymous team boss revealed, that he thought what Toto and Susie shared with each other was illegal.

Mercedes team boss Wolff possesses a huge amount of (confidential) knowledge about matters that should not always be shared with Liberty Media and FOM. Susie Wolff, in turn, gets a lot of confidential information about F1 Academy, FOM and also Formula 1.

Partly due to the concerns of the team bosses, the FIA has now come out with a statement on the matter. "The FIA is aware of speculation in the media about allegations that a member of the FOM staff passed confidential information to an F1 team boss. The FIA Compliance Department is investigating the matter."
