Mercedes team CEO Toto Wolff said Brexit could trigger “the mother of all messes” for his Northamptonshire-based team. Six of the 10 teams who took part in the 2019 grand prix series are based in Britain. He added that he considered complications surrounding the movement of goods more problematic than possible visa issues for international staffers with British-based teams.
Some F1 teams have suggested that teams based on the continent would have an advantage if new rules complicated the import of products into Britain, especially since teams typically work on tight deadlines. “We don’t know what is going to happen any more than anyone else,” he said.
