“Mercedes gereed vir F1 se terugkeer na V8‑enjins in 2030, sê Wolff”
MISLEADING
The claim suggests Mercedes is 'ready' for a return to V8s in 2030. However, the evidence shows Toto Wolff's stance is nuanced: while one source says he 'supports' the move ('Count us in'), another source explicitly states he has 'mixed feelings' and 'expresses concerns' about the return to V8 engines, warning that the sport could 'look ridiculous' if it loses connection to the real world. There is no evidence of a confirmed 2030 mandate for V8 engines, only discussions and calls for such a change.
