Hamilton proud of Wolff for standing up to FIA

|March 22, 2024
MELBOURNE - Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has applauded Susie Wolff for taking legal action against the governing FIA, saying he hopes it will improve transparency and accountability in the sport.
-
Susie, one of the top women in motor racing and wife of Mercedes Formula One boss Toto, said on March 20 she had filed a criminal complaint in France against the FIA for a conflict-of-interest inquiry in 2023.
The head of the all-female F1 Academy support series announced her move after FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem was cleared of alleged interference in two races last season.
In the lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix on March 24, Mercedes driver Hamilton said he was incredibly proud of Susie and described her as brave for standing up in a world where "people are often silenced".
"I love that she's taking it out of this world - fight it from outside because there is a real lack of accountability here, within this sport, the FIA, things that are happening behind closed doors," he said on March 21.
