It was revealed earlier today that Susie Wolff has filed a criminal complaint against the FIA. Lewis Hamilton fully supports her. He believes the FIA is not taking enough responsibility.
A few months ago, the FIA revealed that an investigation would be launched into Susie and Toto Wolff. Namely, there would be a conflict of interest. After all F1 teams put out a statement saying that the complaint was not made by any of them, the investigation was dropped.
Hamilton also dissatisfied with FIA's actions
So now Susie Wolff has announced that she has taken legal action against Formula 1's main body. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton expressed his dissatisfaction towards the FIA's actions in Melbourne. "There is a really lack of accountability within the sport, the FIA. A lot of things happen behind closed doors, there is no transparency and no accountability, when we need it. The fans need it. How can you trust the sport?"
"Hopefully, this stand that she has taken will create change and a positive impact. Especially for women. It's still a male dominated sport. We live in a time when if you file a complaint, you'll be fired. That is a terrible narrative to project towards the world, especially when we talk about inclusivity in sport."
In any case, the seven-time world champion fully supports Wolff. "I am incredibly proud of Susie. I think she is so brave and stands for great values. She's such a leader. In a world where people are often silenced, for her to stand up is such a great message."
