The clash between the International Automobile Federation and the Wolff family is now total. If the FIA leaders really thought that the statement published yesterday evening – which effectively sanctioned the closure of any investigation against Toto Wolff and his wife Susie due to an alleged conflict of interest – was enough to calm the anger of the FIA team principal For the way in which they were dragged into this controversial affair, Mercedes and the head of the F1 Academy had miscalculated.
In fact, today’s morning, first Susie Wolff and then Toto himself released public statements which clearly suggest that they are now the ones who want to go on the counterattack. The first statement was from the managing director of the F1 Academy, who forcefully asserted his integrity. A few minutes later a short official statement from the Mercedes team was released, bearing the signature of Toto Wolff himself. The Austrian manager took the bull by the horns, making it clear that he was ready to take legal action.
Finally, the closing of the statement is once again addressed to the media and heralds the arrival, in the future, of further comments on the matter: “We ask for your understanding that we will not make official comments at this time, but we will certainly address the issue in time.” debt”. The feeling is that the confrontation between the Wolff family and the FIA – in particular president Ben Sulayem – is only just beginning.
