All nine of Mercedes’ F1 rivals have issued statements saying they did not complain to the FIA regarding Toto and Susie Wolff’s alleged conflict on interest.
A recent report from BusinessF1 magazine has suggested that Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff and his wife, F1 Academy Managing Director Susie Wolff are allegedly disclosing confidential information to each other.
The FIA then announced they have opened an investigation into the matter, but refrained from naming any names.
Soon after the investigation was announced, Susie Wolff came out with a statement in which she said she was “deeply insulted” by the allegations, and added they were “rooted in intimidatory and misogynistic behaviour”.
It was stated in the BusinessF1 report that the issue was originally raised by certain team principals, who pointed to a possible conflict of interest.
