Mercedes have called the police to investigate an anonymous email accusing the team of 'sabotage' and endangering Lewis Hamilton's life.
An email was sent on June 10 - a day after the Canadian Grand Prix - from an anonymous source claiming to be a member of the Mercedes team. The sender accused Mercedes of ‘sabotaging’ Hamilton and even putting the seven-time world champion’s life in danger.
"On this particular one I have instructed to go full force with police inquiring it, researching the IP address, researching the phone number, because online abuse in that way needs to stop. People can’t hide behind their phones, or their computers, and abuse teams or drivers in a way like this. “Of course there are always things that can be better within a team and that comes through conversations, through communication, and that’s what we’re consistently working on.
