Madame Wolff freshly reported that she had filed a complaint with the French courts after the FIA opened and abandoned an investigation in December 2023 “into an alleged breach of confidentiality”.

The investigation was prompted by an article in Business F1 magazine, which claimed that Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff benefited from information shared by his wife, who is the managing director of the all-women F1 Academy series.

Toto and Mercedes very firmly denied the allegations against them, while the other nine Formula 1 teams denied providing complaints, leading the FIA to drop this investigation.
