Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says he will not fall into the “trap” that Christian Horner has in the past of urging rule changes because one team is dominating Formula 1.
Red Bull’s current advantage with its RB20 has opened up the prospect of it already looking certain to win the world championships this year, and potentially lock out every race victory. Off the back of a similarly dominant 2023 campaign, this has prompted fears that the popularity of F1 could suffer if a closer battle at the front of the field doesn't soon develop.
“I don't want to fall in the trap of a fellow team principal from next door in 2014/15 who said we should change the regs because it's too dominant,” said Wolff. “I think they have done by far the best job of all the teams over the last two years, and credit where credit is due. I mean, they are literally disappearing in the distance as they want and there's nobody else close. “It's just that they are in a different league. And our sport is an honest sport.
