Toto Wolff against regulation changes

Toto Wolff thinks Formula One is making a mistake by overhauling the sport's technical regulations next year.

In a bid to make the field more competitive amid years of continued dominance by first Red Bull, and now Wolff's Mercedes team, a raft of new technical regulations will be introduced next year.

However, Wolff believes it would be better to leave the regulations as they are, and the field will eventually become more competitive.


"In terms of our performance I have the same impression, it wasn't as dominant of a season as it was last year, and for me it's just the fact of diminishing returns with the stable regulation," he said in Japan. "It's what we always said, leave the regulations and leave the rules alone and the performance gap is going to shrink and eventually we're going to have some good racing."

"Then somebody else decided to invent something new for next year and then it's back to square one I guess," he added.
