Wolff doesn't want 'another 18 months of suffering' but: 'This is reality'

Mercedes started the Grand Prix weekend in Japan full of positive energy. Lewis Hamilton even labelled the first free practice as "the best session of the Formula 1 season so far". In qualifying and the race, however, the German formation did not fare as well. Toto Wolff is already cautiously looking forward to the new 2026 F1 regulations, but certainly does not intend to throw in the towel in the next 18 months.
