F1 Academy managing director Wolff revealed ahead of this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix that she has personally filed a criminal complaint in the French courts against the FIA.
In December, the FIA started looking into a potential conflict of interest between Wolff and her husband Toto - the Mercedes motorsport boss - supposedly after F1 team bosses complained that confidential information had been shared between them.
But the paddock came out in strong defence of Wolff and in a coordinated reply, denied complaining to the FIA, causing the governing body to back down from any investigation.
While the matter quieted down in public, Wolff has now taken action.
“There has still not been any transparency or accountability in relation to the conduct of the FIA and its personnel in this matter,” she wrote.
“I feel more than ever it is important to stand up, call out improper behaviour and make sure people are held to account. Whilst some may think silence absolves them from responsibility - it does not.”
Hamilton has come out in strong defence of Wolff, praising her efforts to shine a light on an organisation and sport that lacks accountability and transparency.
