Susie Wolff files criminal complaint against the FIA

 

Formula 1’s governing body launched and then dropped an investigation into F1 Academy boss and her husband, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, in December

The FIA launched and then dropped an investigation in December over an alleged breach of confidentiality, finding Formula 1’s compliance rules to be sufficiently robust to prevent any breaches.

 

The probe arose in December after a report in Business F1 magazine claimed that other team principals were concerned Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff was benefiting from information shared by his wife.

Two days after the FIA announced its compliance department was “looking into” the allegations, the federation said it “can confirm that there is no ongoing investigation in terms of ethical or disciplinary inquiries involving any individual”.

At the time, Susie Wolff vehemently denied the allegations.

The F1 Academy managing director said on Wednesday that she had lodged the complaint against Formula 1’s governing body on March 4.
