Lewis Hamilton could have a new team-mate, Mercedes chief confirms

Five-times Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton could have a new team-mate in 2020, Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has confirmed. “Esteban is a factor for us in the future," Wolff told ESPN. "We have options for Esteban for 2020, but of course he might also be an option for Mercedes. It depends how the season pans out in Mercedes and how Valtteri goes. "Still, we haven't lost any of our trust in Valtteri. We are 100 per cent behind him because there is trust within our drivers because if we wouldn't be behind him, we might as well make the change now. But we don't. "We think that he's our man, and then obviously Esteban is in the starting blocks because he's keen to drive that car."
