Mercedes’ nine competing teams have come up with a remarkable statement. They all state that they did not approach the FIA to file a complaint regarding the alleged exchange of confidential information between Toto Wolff and Susie Wolff.
After rumors circulated that Toto Wolff and Susie Wolff had passed on confidential information to each other, the FIA issued a statement. The FIA stated that it would conduct an investigation, but the big question was whether one of the competing teams was involved in the investigation.
Susie Wolff, Toto Wolff’s wife, already reacted furiously to the accusations, but she and Toto Wolff are now receiving support from the other F1 teams. They all posted a message online at approximately the same time in which they stated that they had not filed a complaint and that they support Susie Wolff as director of the F1 Academy.
