Mercedes Head of Motorsport Toto Wolff has warned that
refuelling will not return to Formula One unless it is cost effective.
It was announced on Friday that refuelling will return to
Formula One in 2017 for the first time since the 2009 season. Wolff has
explained however that the teams want to come up with a way of safely
conducting a fuel and tyre stop in the same time that it currently takes, 2-3s.
The reasoning behind bringing back refuelling is to increase
the spectacle for the fans and Wolff believes that if it can be done it will be
spectacular.
It has also been agreed that the sport will increase the
width of both the front and the rear wing of the chassis. Wolff concluded by
saying that teams have been given six months to come up a design for the cars
that would suit everyone.
