The FIA has dropped the investigation into the conduct of Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff and his wife Susie after deciding they did not share confidential information.

Susie is the head of the all-female series F1 Academy and it had been claimed by Business F1 magazine that team bosses had issued concerns over the Wolffs discussing details about their respective employers.

The FIA statement read: “Following a review of Formula One Management’s F1 Code of Conduct and F1 Conflict of Interest Policy and confirmation that appropriate protective measures are in place to mitigate any potential conflicts, the FIA is satisfied that FOM’s compliance management system is robust enough to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.

“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.”
