The Silverstone squad - through its Force India, Racing Point and now Aston Martin guises - has used Mercedes power since 2009 to score one win, 14 podiums and two pole positions.
Aston Martin’s coming switch to Honda marks the first time a customer has broken ties with Mercedes since 2014.
But this decision is due to the benefits that a works deal gives Aston Martin, rather than any decline in the competitiveness of the Mercedes unit, reckons Silver Arrows F1 boss Wolff.
Asked by Autosport whether anything should be read into Aston Martin, which currently uses the Mercedes gearbox and wind tunnel also, moving on, Wolff said: “I don't think them switching from a Mercedes client situation to Honda has anything to do with the power unit.
“I think we're competitive in terms of the power unit, but they always wanted to emancipate themselves and become a true works team. That's what they're doing.
“They have their own exclusive power unit supply deal. They have their own fuel supplier, they are building a big factory that's going online in the next few months.
“Lawrence [Stroll, Aston Martin owner]’s aim is never small.
“I think when you want to be competitive and win championships, that is the kind of steps that you need to make.”
