Mercedes has suffered a “setback” with the development of its Formula 1 engine ahead of the 2019 season, according to team boss Toto Wolff.
But Wolff revealed the reigning world champions had already encountered some problems with its engine programme amid talk that Mercedes’ rivals have made progress with the new aerodynamic rules coming into force for 2019.
Mercedes heads into 2019 looking to match Ferrari’s all-time record of six consecutive constructors’ titles, having become just the second team in history to record five successive world championship doubles.
