Plans to reintroduce refuelling to Formula One look likely to be dropped after feedback within the sport was "100% negative".
Refuelling was one of the main proposals on a list of rule changes for 2017 put forward by the F1 Strategy Group last month. However, those within the teams have rejected the plans on the basis of cost, safety and research that suggested it would result in fewer overtaking manoeuvres per race.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, who sits on the Strategy Group, said the idea did not have much support from the very start.
"When we discussed it in the Strategy Group it didn't have a lot of support but we agreed to explore it, to discuss it in the technical regulations meeting and in the sporting regulations meeting and analyse it properly," Wolff said. "The feedback was 100% negative - too expensive, not safe enough, detrimental to the races and the strategies.
"So it's going to go back in the Strategy Group and my opinion is it shouldn't happen. I'm not keen on getting refuelling back into Formula One."
