Mercedes taking nothing for granted despite nearing F1 titles

Mercedes F1 chief Toto Wolff stresses the importance of staying focused and committed despite being on the verge of winning both titles.

Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff says the team "can take nothing for granted" despite being able to wrap up both the drivers' and constructors' championships at this weekend's United States Grand Prix.

Victory for Lewis Hamilton last time out in Japan has put him 59 points clear of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel with four races and 100 points remaining, while Mercedes sits 145 points ahead in the constructors' standings.

Mercedes will wrap up the teams' title this weekend if both Hamilton and teammate Valtteri Bottas finish inside the top four, while Hamilton will take his fourth drivers' crown if he moves an additional 16 points clear of Vettel.
