And while the FIA has imposed an engine freeze, with a certain number of elements that can be modified during the offseasons, the Italian engine manufacturer expressed, through its team principal, its desire to see more flexibility for the engine manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/f1\/\/f1\/actualite\/18397-mattiacci-veut-un-relachement-du-gel-des-moteurs.html\/actualite\/18428-F1-Renault-soutient-Ferrari-pour-un-assouplissement-du-gel-des-moteurs.html\" title=\"Renault soutient Ferrari pour un assouplissement du gel des moteurs\">Renault had followed the Scuderia<\/a> by also wishing for a possible thaw in the engine-related restrictions. It is now Mercedes&#8217; turn, through Toto Wolff, to show openness to discussions about a potential easing of the rules.<\/p>\n<p>Engine manufacturers are allowed to modify certain elements of the engine, but only between two seasons and the aim would be to allow some modifications during the season, as he explained to <i>Sky Sports&#8217; F1 Midweek Report<\/i>: \u00ab You don&#8217;t want to liberalize the homologation and thawing, the question is being able to use these permissions throughout the year, but it&#8217;s still too early. We will meet again and discuss calmly and see what we can do, but we are rather open to everything. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>If the idea could help Renault and Ferrari catch up, Wolff believes that it could also allow Mercedes to improve and make its power unit more reliable: \u00ab Why not. If at the same time we can work on our engine then we have no problem. You don&#8217;t want it to be like GP2 where you have standard engines, so either you open things up and everyone develops as they see fit or you freeze everything. We are open to both proposals. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Ferrari and Renault, it is now Mercedes&#8217; turn to show support, through Toto Wolff, for a possible relaxation of the rules related to the modification of power units in F1.
