What does Wolff have to say about the new regulations?

While the Mercedes boss doesn’t agree with the McLaren team principal. The Austrian feels the rules are strict, which will make all the cars on the grid look identical.

As quoted by GPFans, Wolff said, “I think you will get very slight variations on a theme. The regulations are so tight now that the variance between the cars will really be quite minimal.”

The differences will no doubt be under the skin of the car, which is kind of a shame, that we are going down a route where the shape is so constrained and it will be the livery that will be the biggest differentiator between the cars,” Wolff concluded.
