A compliance investigation by the FIA into Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff and\u00a0F1 Academy boss Susie Wolff has been dropped following allegations that the couple were sharing confidential information between them.<\/p>\n
The global governing body confirmed that they are “satisfied FOM\u2019s compliance management system is robust enough to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of confidential information” and that there is “no ongoing investigation”.<\/p>\n
“The FIA can confirm that there is no ongoing investigation in terms of ethical or disciplinary inquiries involving any individual. As the regulator, the FIA has a duty to maintain the integrity of global motorsport. The FIA reaffirms its commitment to integrity and fairness,” read a statement released on Thursday.<\/p>\n
It had been claimed by\u00a0Business F1 magazine that team bosses had raised concerns about the Wolffs discussing confidential details about their respective employers. Yet all nine of Mercedes F1 rivals later came out and denied making any complaints to the FIA.<\/p>\n

An F1 statement following on from the FIA’s press release read: “We note the public statement made by the FIA this evening that was not shared with us in advance.<\/p>\n
“We have complete confidence that the allegations are wrong, and we have robust processes and procedures that ensure the segregation of information and responsibilities in the event of any potential conflict of interest.<\/p>\n
