December 5 this year The FIA said it would launch an investigation into these disturbing reports. The Wolffs maintain their innocence. Lewis Hamilton decided to speak on the matter. The 38-year-old took part in the award ceremony in Baku for the three best drivers of the championship. Wolff’s absence from the event was noticeable. Hamilton, who has been close to Woff since joining the team in 2013, appeared at the ceremony to accept his award and said a few words.
“Jestem bardzo rozczarowany, że organ zarządzający naszymi mistrzostwami oskarżył jedną z wielkich liderek, jedną z najbardziej niesamowitych liderek naszego sportu, Susie Wolff, o brak uczciwości, bez dowodów, to jest nie do przyjęcia” – powiedział Hamilton.
“Mamy wielu ludzi, którzy wykonują niesamowitą pracę, walcząc o integrację i różnorodność w sporcie, w F1 i ogólnie w przemyśle motoryzacyjnym. Wydaje się jednak, że w kierownictwie FIA są ludzie, którzy za każdym razem, gdy robimy krok do przodu, chcą to cofnąć”.
