Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, Toto Wolff believes that Formula One cars to be significantly quicker in 2017.
“In the last couple of years F1 has reduced downforce, has reduced the speed of the cars, and probably now is the time to take a step back [to review things] - and this is what we are doing for 2017 with very exciting new regulations,” Wolff said at Formula1.com.

Wolff is confident that the teams are in agreement on their key elements by 2017.
“We have until February [2016] to vote for the changes and I think it was pretty unanimous among the teams to implement those radical changes of having wider tyres with more grip, having wider cars,”
