“I think the primary goal of the FIA was to implement the rule to better understand and better analyse what is actually going on with the engines,” said Wolff. “It’s a very complex method between the combustion engine and all the energy recovery systems. And I think that by having one mode, it becomes more easy for the FIA to really see if everything is in compliance.
“It has always been the case in Formula 1 that putting back the leaders is something that is good for the sport. We see it very much as a challenge.
“We have a good quali mode, we’re able to give it a little bit more power in that last session, and if that is not possible anymore, because everything needs to be smoothing out over the race, it’s not a deficit for us.
“On the contrary, we think we can translate that into more performance in the race. And that is something which is a great challenge, which we will take on once the rule is implemented.”
