Formula 1 teams are monitoring the developing situat♈ion of Britain’s exit from the European Union amiꦡd fears the sport could be negatively impacted by the move.

Prime Minister Theresa🐠 May is currently struggling to gather support from members of Parliament to support her Brexit deal, with the United Kingdom due to leave the EU on March 29, 2019.

A vote on the proposed deal, which had been scheduled for Tuesday, was delayed by Mrs May, leading to further uncertainty over what type of deal, providing Brexit does not co💙llapse altogether, will be agreed.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said his team - which has two UK-based operation🌊s in Brackley and Brixworth - is monitoring what he described as “not a very ple🧔asant development” closely.

“We are monitoring it very closely because as Mercedes we have a large oper🐼ation in the UK,” ꦺWolff said.

“Our motorsport division, call it 1800 people, wi💎th a large percentage of EU citizens working for the team.

“It is a factor for us, as I mentioned the EU citizen𒈔🌜s working for us, we are importing lots of goods from the EU, we have taken steps to make sure they are not stuck on the border.”

Ferrari chief Maurizio Arrivabene suggested Brexit could lead to staff members from its Bri🐎tish-based F1 rivals switching teams, though he added he hopes a solution can be reached to avoid such a scenario.

“I🉐’m looking at the situation from the Ferrari perspective, if everything is going in the direction that is announced at the moment, I suspect that in the near future we will find a lot of people th✅at they’re knocking on the door of Maranello,” he explained.

“But it’s not really the best scenario. I think we share thꦓe same concerns.”

Seven of F1’s 10 teams have bases in the UK, including Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren, Williams, Renault, 𓆉Haas and the newly rebranded Racing Point squad.

Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul is worried by Brexit due to the potential logistical challenges teams could face, with his outfit splitting its operations between France and Enstඣone in the UK.

“Obviously we don’t want logistics or freight to be dela꧙yed in any shape or form, as♉ well as people,” Abiteboul said.

“We’ve grown very quickly ꦛin the recent y♐ears and it’s been done in particular thanks to the possibilities offered by the UK, bringing in youngsters, people are coming out from school, we don’t want that to change.”

Christian Horner, te🥂am principal of the Milton Keynes-based Red Bull squad, compared the Brexit situation to the current negotiations in F1 between FOM and teams over the future landscape of the sport.

“Theresa May is obviously doing the best she🅰 can💃 with not a great hand, a little bit like Chase Carey really, and it’s a complex situation.

“I think the bottom line ꧅is that people will continue to do b൩usiness with the UK if we’re competitive and remain good at what we do.

“Formula 1 is something that the UK has excelled at in recent years and it’s no coincidence that four of the teams sitting here are based all in the UK.”

But Horner remains confident Brexit will have little impact on how teams go about their daily busines🍒s.

“There’s obviously some turbulence around at the momenಞt but hopefully, in the coming weeks and months, they’ll be a solution found,”♏ he added.

“There ha൲s to be one, ultimately, and it won’t affect how we go about our daily business.”
