Red Bull are currently riding high in one o🍬f F1’s best-ever seasons - they have won all 15 grands prix in 2023, and Max Verstappe🅰n is cruising to a third consecutive championship.

But Mercedes team principal Wolff does not advocate for new rules which would slow down﷽ 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 ne🎐ed to change the regulations because we can't continue with 𒉰the dominance of a team'," Wolff said.

"If a team dominates in the way Max has done with Red Bull? Fair dues. This i♛s a meritocrac🅷y.

"Asไ long as you comply with the regulations - technical, sporting and financial - you just need to say 'we🦹ll done'.

"It's up to us to catch up. If that takes a long time, then it takes a lo👍ng tim🎀e.”

Wolff’s Mercedes were p🐽reviously the top team in F1, as Lewis Hamilton💯 won his joint-record seventh championship.

"I rememb🧜er people crying foul, when it was us," Wolff said.

"Entertainment follows the sport♒, not the otheꦅr way around.

"You can't be 🍎WWE,ꦐ scripted content. We don't want scripted content."
