Toto Wolff admitted that he would understand if Lewis Hamilton were to consider leaving Mercedes for a Formula 1 rival.
Hamilton is 38 years old and desperate for an eighth world title before he retires from the sport. He has been loyal to the Mercedes team, where he has enjoyed so much of his F1 success, but the Silver Arrows are not currently in a position to fight for the title.
With time not on Hamilton's side, it has been suggested he could look to join a rival team better placed to challenge for the championship. While the Brit has played down such talk, team principal Wolff says he would hold "no grudge" against the racer if he were to consider his options.
