[Saba Sports News] In a recent media interview,
Frederic Vasseur, the team leader of the F1 Ferrari, shared his thoughts on the
previous FIA investigation into the sporting director of the Mercedes-Benz team
and his wife. The FIA publicly expressed doubts about the exchange of
confidential information between Mercedes-Benz team’s sporting director, Wolff,
and his wife, Susie. However, just 48 hours later, the FIA announced the
closure of the case. Vasseur considered the entire incident to be “quite
embarrassing” and unnecessary for the FIA. He believed that the FIA’s
swift clarification for Wolff, shortly after the public inquiry, indicated that
there was no need for the initial public statement. This hasty investigation
followed by a swift closure of the case has resulted in criticism and raised
concerns about drawing conclusions without substantial evidence. Vasseur
suggests that the FIA should learn a lesson from this experience.
