Mercedes chief Toto Wolff delivered a karma warning to his Formula 1 rivals as he declared his desire to "win the right way".
The Silver Arrows are yet to win a race this season after adapting slowly to the new era of ground-effect cars. Amid struggles with porpoising and his suspicions that rivals are flouting the rules with use of flexi-floors, Mercedes have lobbied for some rule changes.
But Wolff is keen to stress that they have only done so in the interest of the safety of their drivers. And he does not want to bend any performance rules because he feels the way victory is achieved is just as important as the win itself.
