Toto Wolff furious at ‘total bulls***’ protest against Mercedes F1
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff dismissed concerns about the legality of their F1 squad’s new sustainable fuel for the 2026 season. Questions arose over Petronas, their fuel supplier, not having their fuel homologated by the FIA, unlike Shell, BP, and ExxonMobil who got the go-ahead. Mercedes, McLaren, Alpine, and Williams faced worries ahead of the new season with new regulations coming into play. All F1 teams must switch to advanced sustainable fuels for 2026 as part of the sport’s aim to become Net Zero by 2030. Homologation is the certification process ensuring new products meet safety and technical standards, essential for the 2026 F1 cars.
