Toto Wolff raises his voice and demands clarity

Toto Wolff’s words

Toto Wolff had his say on the budget cap case, “It’s not just about 2021, but also 2022 and 2023. We are talking about a million dollars, and they make the difference between winning and losing. We have confidence in the FIA’s transparency and leadership, but we need to understand what happened.”

“The budget cap is important because it puts everyone on an equal footing. Mohammed was clear and tough, let’s see what happened, but we are concerned to see the results. It’s not a good secret, we are very concerned. If there are gray areas in the regulation? The gray areas are small, not million-dollar areas. The FIA has a competent group of accounters. We know they knew, let’s see. If this overrun was confirmed? If we and Ferrari had known we could spend five million more without a big penalty we would have done it. Now we see the leadership of the FIA and what the consequences will be. It is important for the whole championship to know that we are all equal: we have sporting, technical and financial rules. What to say to the fans? We know that there is also the issue of 2022. If they repeat the strategy, it is also an important thing for this year and for the future, because they would have already done the development,” the Mercedes team principal clarified.
