Mercedes: 'Earthquake' 2022 F1 changes only motivate us
Jan 18, 2021
Mercedes have a warning for Formula 1 that the "earthquake" changes coming for 2022 only motivate the team to want to stay in front.
After seven straight double championships since the hybrid era began in 2014, and few betting against an eighth this year, the Brackley-based squad is facing the biggest threat to their reign of dominance next season as F1 undergoes a radical overhaul.
In 2021, a first-ever budget cap of $145m is being introduced to bring greater financial equality to the grid, and that will be followed by all-new cars in 2022, which have been designed to promote closer racing.
But, looking forward to the year ahead, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff declared his team ready for the hurdles to their continued success.
“For us, it will be an interesting year [2021] because we need to structure ourselves in a different way than we have done before due to the cost cap,” he told Motorsport.com .

“We are facing this formidable challenge of slightly tweaked 2021 regulations and a big earthquake of regulatory change for 2022.
“There are factors working against us that motivate us a lot and factors working for us because we believe we have a good organisation.
