The budget limit is called to change things in Formula 1. He is called to, as they believe and want, to make everything equal. That the differences are eliminated, and that the teams see themselves in a position to win. This could be ‘bad’ for Mercedes, but those of the star believe that in the end it will be positive for the competition.
And also for them, because Todo Wolff has recognized in ‘The Times’ that the issue of money led them to a “spending war” with only two teams. With only Ferrari and Red Bull.
“It was a key change. He protected us from ourselves.” says Wolff.
And insists: “Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes We were fighting in our own league.”
“It was like a war on expenses, but the rest of the teams, the smaller ones, They weren’t competitive.” says the boss of Mercedes.
Wolff says that what has been applied in F1 has already been done in other sports: “The NFL and the NBA already have it. There’s a limit to what you can spend.”
“It was based on those existing models in other sports in the United States. Now there is a cost limit in technical development, it was a game changer and, suddenly we were profitable,” judgment.
