FIA's Wolff Investigation 'Quite Embarrassing' For F1 Says Vasseur

Frederic Vasseur was clearly not in support of FIA's investigation against Toto and his wife, Susie Wolff, as he called it "quite embarrassing."

FIA's investigation against Toto and Susie Wolff was launched almost two weeks ago and concluded only about two or three days later.

However, it had consequences, as it damaged the reputation of both Toto and Susie Wolff. Susie wrote she had received online abuse about her work and family and planned to find out who was behind the allegations.

Scuderia Ferrari team principal was recently asked by motorsport.com how he feels about the whole saga and whether he thought there would be any more implications, and he responded: "I think this story is quite embarrassing for our sport."

One of the problems was neither Toto with Susie Wolff nor Mercedes were informed about this investigation prior to its announcement. The other problem was that it seemed to be based on some news agency article claiming to have interviewed an anonymous team principal.

Vasseaur pointed to how quickly the investigation was launched and how even quicker it was ended after all the Formula One teams put out synonymous statements.

Mercedes F1 team principal Toto Wolff himself recently responded to the investigation and all the accusations as he called it a personal attack that crossed the red line.
