Wolff warns against complacency

Toto Wolff has sent out a clear warning to Mercedes, telling them that they will get beaten if they relax their attitude at all this season.

The German team have dominated the sport in the last three years and seem set to win a third consecutive double – with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg clear in the table.

But Wolff insists they can’t relax and need to keep making progress in order to see off Ferrari and Red Bull for good.

"If you have that attitude you will be beaten," he said.

"You need to see the threat, and you need to be conscious that at any track somebody could do a better job.

"You must keep in mind that next season is important, and the change of regulations is important, so you're trying to stay pretty unemotional about the situation.

"Just deploy the best possible engineering, the way we prepare for the race, the way we execute the race and the trackside engineering.

"Equally the team in the UK needs to work as hard as possible for next year and not get drawn into 2016. That is a constant balance."
