(Mercedes AMG F1 Team)
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has stated that Formula One has a 'great product' with the new era of Formula One which has seen the sport switch to a more fuel efficient category switching from 2.4 litre V8 engines to 1.6 litre V6 turbocharged power units. The sport have also introduced new Energy Recovery Systems or ERS devices.
Mercedes aim is to take what they develop in Formula One and to bring that across to their road car division.
Wolff also hopes that with the new era in Formula One it will help entice more manufacturers to come into the sport like the way Honda are returning to the sport next season as a power unit supplier to the McLaren team.
Speaking about some of the changes Wolff admitted that maybe the sport has gone too when trying to increase the excitement of the sport and he feels that it was not necessary to introduce double points for the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi in November.
