Toto Wolff believes the rumour about Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari was "placed" as his Mercedes future remains unclear.
The Brit, 38, will see his contract with the Silver Arrows end when the current season concludes and a new deal doesn't appear imminent. Hamilton has been with Mercedes since 2013, winning six world titles, all of which have been with Wolff as his boss.
The Austrian has underlined his happiness with Hamilton as the team attempt to close the gap on the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari, whose team principal has denied any links of a £40m deal with Hamilton. Wolff is confident he and his driver are on the same wavelength and there would be no subtle talks taking place.
