It’s been a busy week in the world of F1 after on Tuesday, th🍨e FIA announced their investigation into claims from Business F1 magazine that some teams felt Toto and Susie’s relationship presented a conflict of interest.
The FIA then confirmed 48 hours later𒁏 their inquiry into the Wolffs had been dropped, noting “there was "no ongoing investigation" into th𒁏e matter.
The FIA’s response came after all ꦅ10 teams rele꧟ased identical statements on social media stating they had not made an official complaint and backed Susie Wolff, who is head of F1 Academy.
On Friday morning, Susi𒉰e released a statement on Instagram, hitting back at the FIA, calling for “accountability” and “transparဣency”.
