The Mercedes team principal emphasized that the meeting was a chance for a normal discussion and exchange of views, as he and Ben Sulayem had not seen each other for a while. While Wolff did not provide specific details about the content of their conversation, it is clear that the future of Formula 1 and the ongoing negotiations surrounding the Concorde Agreement were among the topics discussed.
In related news, McLaren’s CEO, Zak Brown, revealed that the teams are starting preliminary discussions about the new Concorde Agreement. One key concern raised by Wolff and others is the current anti-dilution fund, which is set at $200 million. With potential new teams expressing interest in joining the grid, there have been calls to significantly raise this figure to accommodate future entrants.
