Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes will still have a "fighting chance" of winning the world title despite team boss Ross Brawn's decision to quit. Brawn was instrumental in persuading Hamilton to move to Mercedes after six years with McLaren.
Hamilton has responded to the news of Brawn quitting, saying: "When I made the decision it was based on a lot more things than just Ross. Ross wasn't the only thing I came here for.
"It was a bonus to have Ross here because of how much experience he had and the success he had in his previous teams. At the time he was the one who came and showed me the progress the team were making and the direction they were going. But any boss would have done that. We've had a great working relationship."
Hamilton said: "Either way, we have a strong set of people in the team. Everyone will do the utmost to make sure whatever decision he makes we go into next year with a fighting chance to win the championship."
Mercedes will now be run in tandem by their two executive directors, Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe, along with Lauda.
