Susie Wolff has ta♈ken legal action against the FIA.

A statement from her read: “I can confirm that I personally filed a crimina꧙l complaint in the French courts on the 4th March in relati💧on to the statements made about me by the FIA last December.

"There has still not been any transparency or accounta♐bility in the relation toꦫ the conduct of the FIA and its personnel in this matter.

"I feel more than ever it is important to stand u﷽p, call out improper behaviour and make sure people are held to account.

"Whilst some may think silence ab🌊solves them from responsibility - it does no🦹t."

Her criminal compl♌aint refers to the FIA’s investigation into a potential conflict of interest involving Wolff and her husband, Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principalღ.

They had denied unsubstantiated reports that they s🧜hared sensitive information, and that rival F1 team bosses had complained about i🍷t.

But team principals from every other F1 teaꩵm then denied making any complaint.

The FIA then insisted the matter was closed,ꦿ two days after their initial statement revealing an investigation.

Susie Wolff comme♒nted on social media at the time: “I might have been collateral damage in an unsuccessful attack on somebody else, or the target of a failed attempt to discredit me personally, but I have worked too hard to have my reputation called into question by an unfounded press release.”

Susie Wolff is🐭 the managing director of the F1 Academy.
