Heeft Mercedes schrik van Volkswagen na het geslaagde debut van diens vernieuwde F3 motor?
Quote:
Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug says they use F3 primarily to develop links with young drivers and that they would quit the series if it became a "money wasting machine".
"It's a joke, F3 is not F1," he told Autosport. "I can't change the rules but I will accept it as long as we don't have to develop engines. As soon as F3 becomes a money-throwing competition, we will not take part.
"It's better to invest in young drivers than to invest in an F3 engine testing team. We've done a lot for guys like Lewis (Hamilton), Jamie (Green), and Paul (Di Resta) and our system is working well.
"We have the perfect system because F3 doesn't cost us anything - we get the money we spend back from leasing the engines."
