Wolff and her husband were the subject of a conflict-of-interest investigation brought by the FIA in December 2023, after an allegation that confidential information was being passed between a team member and a member of the sport’s owner Formula One Management (FOM). Both parties strongly denied the allegation and within 48 hours of it beginning the investigation, the FIA concluded neither party had a case to answer. The allegations had been made to the FIA by a whistleblower that Ben Sulayem had interfered with two sporting decisions in 2023. The decision to investigate appears to have been prompted by one, unsubstantiated media report alleging Wolff had made a comment that could only have been informed by information from a member of FOM personnel.
