As the FIA continues its probing of the team submissions from the 2022 campaign, it emerged over the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend that a further round of questions have gone back to some of the leading outfits as part of a push for further clarifications.
This comes on top of one of the current big talking points being how much teams are benefitting from using non-F1 parts of their business to help boost progress of their grand prix outfits.
While some of the most obvious exploits in this area have been shut down through the publication of a technical directive (TD45) outlawing the transfer outside the cost cap of IP from non-F1 businesses to teams, there remains some grey areas.
And that is why Wolff believes that, from the next rules cycles that comes into play in 2026, new regulations should be put in place that stops competitors playing around with staff sharing time between F1 teams and other projects.
Asked by Autosport how hard it was for the FIA to properly police these areas of non-F1 business to ensure teams did not gain an unfair advantage, Wolff said: “I think very hard because some the big teams have 1000s of people in various projects, commercial and non-commercial projects.
