Red Bull are cu🦋rrently riding high in one of F1’s best-ever ꦛseasons - they have won all 15 grands prix in 2023, and Max Verstappen is cruising to a third consecutive championship.

But Mercedes team principal Wolff does not advocate for new rules which would slow d🌼own dominant teams, and enable others to catch up.

"As a team principal, I don't want to jump on the bandwagon that others have done of saying 'we need to change the re𒁃gulations because we can't continue with the dominance of a team'," Wolff said.

"If a tea🦹m dominates in the way Max has done with Red Bull?ꦺ Fair dues. This is a meritocracy.

"As long as you comply with the regulations - tech🍷nical, sporting and financial - you just need to say 'well done'.

"It's up to us to catch up. If that takes a long time, then it takes a lon🧜g time.”

Wolff’s Mercedes were previously the top team in F1, as Lewis Ham✅ilton won his joint-recor൲d seventh championship.

"I remember people crying foul, when 𝓀it was us," ꦛWolff said.

"Entertainment follℱows the sport, not the other way around.

"You can't be WWE, scri🦋pted🌟 content. We don't want scripted content."
