Mercedes’ star wars

MERCEDES may have to review their drivers’ line-up and consider that it is impractical to have Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in the same team, Red Bull boss Christian Horner said.

After Sunday’s last lap collision between the drivers, Horner said Mercedes has to consider if they have become an untenable pairing.

“Longer term, how tenable is it for that pairing to continue as a team?” said Horner. “While they are in the situation that they are in, with the competitiveness they have, these issues are not going to be isolated to this race.

“But then that is an attractive element for the sport. When you do have a dominant car, it’s great to have the guys going head to head.”

Mercedes team chief Toto Wolff said he will hold meetings to consider the introduction of team orders ahead of this week’s upcoming British Grand Prix. Horner said he believes that is unnecessary.
