A report published in Business F1 magazine suggested that a comment made by Toto at a recent team bosses’ meeting had raised concerns among rivals that he was receiving confidential information from his wife, Susie.
In her Instagram account, Susie denied the allegations. “It is disheartening that my integrity is being called into question in such a manner, especially when it seems to be rooted in intimidatory and misogynistic behavior, and focused on my marital status rather than my abilities”.
F1 and Mercedes also released statements supporting the Wolff couple. F1 claimed that the investigation was based upon “imprudent and serious allegations without substance”.
