    I mean no disrespect to either of the Wolffs, but intention or even action don’t negate conflict of interests. For instance with my own role at work I’m not allowed to work in the same dept as a blood relative, spouse or someone I live under the same roof as for conflict of interest reasons.

      OK, but F1 isn’t like that. Toto was Bottas’ agent both at Mercedes and Sauber, and Bottas was happy with his services. There have been many similar examples. Hell, people who cheated at teams ended up poacher-turned-gamekeeper.

      The thing is that it’s largely self-policing. The teams aren’t shy about causing a riot if they feel wronged (or if they merely think they can gain a small advantage from the fuss). If the teams are willing to accept Susie, then she’ll be fine. And the indications are that the paddock holds her in very high regard.

        Lol, F1 has been corrupt af for years, probably since it’s inception, I’m well aware. What you’re saying is F1 doesn’t care about the conflict of interests that would arise, which is how we end up with a lot of controversy.
