“The process is very clear,” Wolff said. “When you go in a specific development direction, having the FIA a part of scrutinising it – you are exchanging data and you’re making them part of the process.

“It’s clear that sometimes when you come with an innovation it creates the kind of debate that we’re having here. That’s why that was expected.

“We have the new governance with the super majority that’s needed.

“My opinion is that I would have preferred to stay with the old system, that if a team comes up with an innovation, you possibly can’t take it off the car if it’s compliant with the regulations.

“The FIA and F1 will for sure handle it with diligence and in the spirit of the sport. We were keen on not running alone with it, but being in touch with the FIA also, and that’s why I think it will be ok.”
