Toto Wolff has taken a combative stance against abuse towards his team and reported an anonymous email, which claimed that the Mercedes team were sabotaging Lewis Hamilton’s season, to the police.
Wolff was forceful and clearly aggrieved over the email’s contents when speaking before this Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix. The anonymous message had accused Mercedes of deliberately working against Hamilton, since he announced he was to leave the team to join Ferrari next season. It was critical of Wolff, the team principal, and of Hamilton’s teammate George Russell and stated the team were “on a dangerous course that could ultimately be life threatening to Lewis”.
