Brexit could give Ferrari advantage - Wolff

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff believes the possibility of Great Britain leaving the EU could give their rivals Ferrari an advantage.

Wolff actually described the potential Brexit deal as a "nightmare scenario" that could play into the hands of the Italian side.

Britain are set to leave the European Union at the end of March, but the British government are still trying to sort out a deal beforehand.

“We are looking at the various scenarios with Mercedes-Benz UK because it not only impacts Formula 1 but it impacts also the mother brand in terms of getting cars and parts in and out of the country,” Wolff said.

“But I can see very much if a ‘no deal’ Brexit would happen like [has] been discussed I think we would have a major impact in terms of our operation going to the races and getting our cars developed and ready. So that is a nightmare scenario that I don’t want to even envisage.”
