It's the FIA vs FOM.TFSA wrote: ↑08 Dec 2023, 14:35I have a hard time seeing Toto get anywhere with this. He's just trying to flex his muscles here.
From my viewpoint, the FIA didn't do anything judicially wrong. They did their job as a governing body. They conducted an initial assessment/inquiry (calling it an investigation at that point is probably overstating it) with the FOM. FOM replied with their procedures for making sure confidential information isn't leaked. FIA said "This looks good to us" and ended it. None of that is wrong on a technical level. They can investigate if they want to. Had they decided not to investigate, they'd have people screaming foul for that as well.
This is all being used as a power play at this point - and I'm not sure it's the FIA who is to blame here. Seems more like the Wolffs are trying to capitalize on this now against the FIA, when the real culprit is a tabloid which I (shamelessly at the time) used as a source to start this very thread.
Making this about any team or boss is not correct. FIA used the paper to make trouble and it made for them trouble.
