How long before Mercedes quit F1? It is unlikely that they will be anywhere as far ahead, if at all, next season. They could well do next year and then walk away saying that they have won everything to save a lot of money.
Well they are quite fickle, they always have been...
Public announcements of that strength as quoted in the report are unusual to say the least in this day and age. You have to wonder how that plays out with the drivers and the Merc staff. I guess for the drivers they'll be thinking which ever one wins the title would be safe and the other the one who has to move on.
I think it's more bluff and bluster and not really likely to happen but it's not helpful.

It is a German team and if push comes to shove I reckon they will come down on Nico's side, I think they hired Lewis to win the championship for them and later on they found out they didn't need him to achieve that, as they already had a driver capable of doing so and one that costs a lot less money..
Edit.
I also reckon that Toto is for the chop at the end of the year..

While Mercedes have a car that is a world beater then you're right, they don't need a driver of Hamiltons calibre.
It's next season and beyond when the competition closes the gap in performance that they will need a driver who can wrangle that extra speed out of the car.
Hamilton is the quicker driver but he's also the unluckier of the too.
It will come down to if you want a quick driver or a lucky driver.

Either way, it's not the sort of public statement you want made as the championship battle tightens and your drivers are going at each other tooth and nail. I would describe it as "not helpful"

No team will make a season breaking or making decision based on an assumption of luck.
Not all of Hamilton's problems this year have been down to bad luck, in fact quite a number of them have been down to his own misjudgment Silverstone and Austria qualifying mistakes by him, to name but just two and he created his own problems in Canada also his problem in Spa he had glazing of the brakes causing a lock up but Nico also had the same problem but he just managed it better as indeed he managed his car problems in Canada better than Lewis, Nico brought the car home and Lewis didn't.
So lets not pretend that it has been all bad luck for Lewis and all good luck for Nico because clearly that is not the case.

Compared to Nico, Lewis is complete shit!
Yeah, I'm really struggling to see how it was Hamilton's fault that his brakes failed more severely than Rosberg's.

I said this back in May. I don't like this sit back and wait a bit to attack at the end - it doesn't work. Lewis forced the issue today which gave him the win. If he sat back he would have ran out of time IMO and lost another 7points.

Hmm, I wonder in the debrief what Lewis's body language was trying to say to Nico? I've had ex-girlfriends give me that treatment..
