The last two major regulation changes in 2009 and 2014 have seen the dominance of certain teams toppled and Wolff is wary that Mercedes could get left behind if it does not shift its focus to 2017 early enough.We are now entering a time where things are complicated even more by some big decisions to be made, Wolff said. Every week we must analyse how much resource we move across to the 2017 project -- but thats a tricky balancce.ddddddddddddWith wind tunnel time and CFD usage restricted under the regulations, Wolff believes teams that switched their focus to 2017 early will already have an advantage.Some teams will have stopped 2016 development very early -- as early as February maybe, once the current cars hit the circuit.

We may be halfway through the battle for this year -- but the hard work is only just beginning. ' ' '
