Lewis Hamilton has offered a public show of support for Susie Wolff after an FIA investigation into the couple was launched.
Lewis Hamilton has publicly shown his support for F1 Academy boss Susie Wolff and his own team principal after the couple were placed under investigation by the FIA following allegations that they were sharing confidential information between them
This controversy was made public after the Business F1 magazine published an article claiming that multiple team principals on the grid had complained to the FIA, raising concerns that confidential information had been passed between Toto and Susie Wolff.
As the director of F1 Academy, Susie reports directly to CEO Stefano Domenicali, while Toto has been the team principal of Mercedes since 2013. According to the initial report, the latter had allegedly sparked concerns with some comments made during team principal meetings.
After the investigation was launched, Susie took to Instagram to release a statement, noting: “I am deeply insulted but sadly unsurprised by the public allegations that have been made this evening.
“It is disheartening that my integrity is being called into question in such a manner, especially when it seems to be rooted in intimidatory and misogynistic behaviour, and focused on my marital status rather than my abilities.
