The wife of Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has filed a criminal complaint in the French courts regarding statements made about her by Formula 1's governing body. Susie Wolff, who serves as the director of the all-female series F1 Academy, is under investigation by the FIA for potential conflict of interest and sharing confidential information. The probe was initiated following allegations that Susie and Toto Wolff may have disclosed private meeting information to rival team executives.
After the FIA launched the investigation, the other nine F1 teams denied lodging any complaints against the Wolffs. The FIA closed the investigation within 48 hours, prompting the Wolffs to consider legal action against the FIA. Susie Wolff confirmed on social media that she filed a complaint on March 4, expressing the need for accountability and transparency in the FIA's conduct.
