Paddy Lowe has played down reports about a legal 'traction control'-style system aboard Mercedes's dominant 2016 car.
The reports indicated that the FIA and rival teams cannot move to ban the system - a version of which has reportedly also been developed by Red Bull - until 2018.
Mercedes's technical chief Lowe told Germany's Auto Bild: "There is no single part that makes our car so successful.
"Rather, it is the optimal interaction of all the components and the product of the greatest engineering work that I have ever experienced."
The championship continues today with the Singapore Grand Prix.
