Russell has qualified ahead of Mercedes team-mate seven times in the last eight races.
Toto Wolff has insisted Lewis Hamilton’s team-mate George Russell is not receiving preferential treatment at Mercedes.
But responding to Hamilton’s cryptic comment, Mercedes team principal Wolff said: “Aren’t all drivers a bit sceptical at times? “We are trying to do the best out of the relationship . Trying to maximise the results for what is our final season together. And that situation between drivers and teams can be tense at times because everybody wants to do the best.”
