- Team principal makes pledge after dire start to new season
- ‘It would be too easy to lose a driver and then throw in the towel’
The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, insists he has no fear that Lewis Hamilton will leave the team after they made a shocking start to the new Formula One season.
His team were solidly beaten at the season opener in Bahrain, with Hamilton and George Russell managing only fifth and seventh. Their car was the fourth fastest, solidly behind the Red Bull, Ferrari and Aston Martin, a team that use a Mercedes engine, gearbox and suspension.
