Toto Wolff makes admission on Lewis Hamilton Mercedes departure

Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff admitted that he has no “bad words” for rivals Red Bull after Max Verstappen’s controversial Formula 1 world championship victory. Last month, the Dutchman won his first title in Abu Dhabi thanks to a controversial decision by race director Michael Masi to let some lapped cars overtake the safety car. This infuriated Mercedes, who challenged the result, but had their argument dismissed by the FIA. Lewis Hamilton was livid during the race – he said over team radio that the race had been "manipulated". Since the historic result, which denied Hamilton a record-breaking eight world title, talks surrounding whether the F1 legend will return to the sport for next year has swamped the news agenda. And Wolff hasn't confirmed what his driver will do next season, but once admitted that Mercedes need to be prepared for when Hamilton finally decides to retire. On Hamilton's future, Wolff said:

"It doesn't worry me at all, because I will always respect Lewis's decisions.   ''Whether this is staying with us for a long time, or whether that means leaving the sport and pursuing different interests.   "I think we need to be ready for all kinds of curveballs being thrown at us.   "But at the same time, we talk a lot, and we are very transparent with each other. I think there is more to achieve together."
