Wolff has found herself in the spotlight after the FIA issued a statement on Tuesday night saying its compliance department had opened an investigation into a potential conflict of interest between an F1 team principal and a member of FOM personnel.
It relates to what the governing body says was a suggestion that confidential information had been passed on.
Although the governing body did not mention any names, it is widely understood that the matter involves Wolff and her husband, Mercedes F1 team boss Toto.
While F1 and Mercedes both issued strongly worded statements denying allegations, Susie Wolff took to social media to express her dismay at what had unfolded on Tuesday afternoon – as she suggested there were hidden motives at play.
“I am deeply insulted but sadly unsurprised by the public allegations that have been made this evening,” she wrote.
“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 behaviour, and focused on my marital status rather than my abilities.
“Throughout my career in motorsport, I have encountered and overcome numerous obstacles and I refuse to let these baseless allegations overshadow my dedication and passion for F1 Academy.
