FIA Investigates Alleged Conflict of Interest Involving Mercedes F1 Team Principal and F1 Academy Head

Toto and Susie Wolff, Mercedes, and FOM Reject Allegations Amid Tensions Between F1 and FIA

The FIA has launched an investigation into Mercedes F1 team principal Toto Wolff and his wife Susie Wolff, head of the F1 Academy, over allegations of a conflict of interest.
The allegations suggest the Wolffs may be sharing confidential information from their respective employers, which could provide Mercedes with an unfair advantage.
Both Toto and Susie Wolff have vehemently denied the allegations, with Susie Wolff describing them as 'intimidatory and misogynistic'.
Mercedes and Formula One Management (FOM) have also rejected the allegations, with Mercedes expressing surprise at learning about the investigation through a media statement.
The investigation comes amid worsening relations between F1 and the FIA, with some insiders suggesting F1 owners Liberty Media may consider breaking away from the FIA if current issues continue.
