F1 US GP: Wolff calls on Mercedes to give drivers fair title fight
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says the squad has relished clinching its third straight F1 world constructors' title but now must ensure a perfect end to 2016 to allow both Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton a fair fight for the drivers' championship.
After Rosberg's win in Japan and Hamilton's third place secured Mercedes the F1 world constructors' crown, Wolff has been celebrating the success at the team's base before focusing attention to the United States Grand Prix.
Despite sealing the F1 team championship with four rounds to spare, Wolff concedes Mercedes is still feeling the pressure to provide both drivers with reliable cars after the fallout from the Malaysian Grand Prix when Hamilton's engine expired due to a 'big-end bearing failure' preceded by a loss of oil pressure while the British driver was leading the race.
Immediately after the engine blow Hamilton demanded answers from Mercedes with rumours of sabotage which were quickly quashed by Mercedes chiefs.
"Our priority over the coming weeks is to give both our boys the best possible chance of winning the remaining four races," Wolff said. "The title is purely between them, which is fantastic news for the team as we can be happy whatever the final outcome.
