NOT COOL
Bottas , who joined Mercedes in January as replacement for now-retired world champion Nico Rosberg , is 23 adrift of his team mate . Wolff said the situation at Ferrari had to be taken into consideration . “ That is the interesting question that we need to analyse at the moment and I don ’ t want to pre-empt what the consequence will be , or if there will be a consequence ,” he added .
The disparity between the current Mercedes pairing is more marked than before , with Bottas yet to win a race and Hamilton surpassed only by Michael Schumacher in the all-time lists with 54 victories .
