Toto Wolff says “if maybe a Red Bull is half a second slower” as a result of the FIA implementing the new ‘anti fexi-wings’ directive, “that would be nice”.
From the Singapore Grand Prix, the FIA will be implementing a new technical directive which will prevent teams from exploiting a loophole, which allowed some of them to use flexible front and rear wings.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says he is not sure how much it will affect rival teams.
“It’s going to be interesting,” the Austrian said.
“I think, with the Aston Martin, you’ve seen that they made a step backwards with the wings moving less or whatever.”

Asked what impact the change will have on the pecking order, Toto said:
“I don’t know, let’s wait and see. I don’t know who is exploiting that to more [of a] degree, not a bigger degree than others.”
Ultimately, Toto would like for this directive to affect Red Bull, but he doesn’t believe that will happen.
“But if maybe a Red Bull is half a second slower or something, that would be nice, but I don’t think it will be the case,” Wolff concluded.
