In December last year, Susie Wolff, the boss of the F1 Driver Academy, and her husband Toto Wolff, Mercedes team principal, were investigated over accusations of an alleged conflict of interest.
Susie Wolff has launched legal action against the FIA, motorsport's governing body, after a controversial inquiry into her and her husband last year. The F1 Driver Academy managing director, married to Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, found herself at the heart of an investigation into claims of an alleged conflict of interest. The probe came about after reports claimed other team principals were worried Mr Wolff was benefiting from information shared by his wife.
Speaking to La Gazzeta dello Sport, earlier this year Mr Wolff said that the initial inquiry caused 'great damage' and was 'not what you expect from the world of F1'. He added that his wife's reputation had suffered even after the investigation was dropped, saying 'the bullet can't go back into the rifle'.
