F1 News: Mercedes Chief Confirms Police Involvement In Anonymous Lewis Hamilton 'Sabotage' Claims

Toto Wolff, Mercedes' Formula 1 team principal, has confirmed that the police are investigating allegations of sabotage against seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, following an anonymous email and subsequent WhatsApp messages that have stirred both controversy and concern within the motorsports community. The seriousness of the claims has not only provoked a legal response but also highlighted the underbelly of online abuse in competitive sports.

Wolff, disturbed by the nature of the allegations, detailed the steps being taken to counteract this campaign. He commented, as“It's not from a member of the team. When we are getting these kinds of emails, and we're getting tons of them, it is upsetting, particularly when there is somebody talking about death and all these things.

“If you don't believe all of that, then you can believe that we want to win the constructors' world championship. And part of the constructors' world championship is making both cars win. So, to all of these mad people out there, take a shrink.”
