Toto Wolff thinks the FIA and Pirelli should make testing call

Toto Wolff things Pirelli and the FIA should make the call on where testing should take place next year.

The tyre manufacturer has called for more testing in warmer climates, and while most teams have agreed, some want to remain in Europe on cost grounds.


"We know that Pirelli want to do testing where it is possible to get representative data, and the people in Bahrain offered their track," said Wolff at Suzuka.

"I can understand this argument," he said or the teams against it on cost grounds, "but in my opinion the ball is now in the court of Pirelli and the FIA. Then it must be decided how to fund it to make it economically feasible for the small teams."

"In my opinion we should stop expressing all of our various opinions, because we have a tyre supplier who knows what to do to ensure the safety and the entertainment of the racing."
