What did Toto Wolff say?
As quoted by GP fans, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff believes that all 20 cars on the grid will look almost identical due to the rigid regulations.
“I think you will get very slight variations on a theme. The regulations are now so tight that the differences between the cars will really be minimal, ”said Wolff.
Formula One F1 – Great Britain Grand Prix – Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, UK – July 15, 2021. The new 2022 F1 car is unveiled during a REUTERS / Andrew Couldridge promotional photo shoot.
“The differences will no doubt be under the skin of the car, which is kind of a shame that we’re going down a path where the shape is so limited and the paintwork will be the biggest differentiator between the cars. “Said the Mercedes team boss.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown agrees with the Mercedes team boss
Zak Brown missed the trial for the much-anticipated reveal of next-generation cars because of a positive coronavirus test. He also missed the opportunity to get behind the wheel of Mario Andretti’s masterful Lotus79 car.
Despite not being present at the unveiling, the McLaren CEO agrees with Wolff’s comments. He said, “I don’t think so [they will be] radically different because we all play by very strict rules, so I’ve seen what ours looks like, it’s subtly different.
