F1 - Mercedes may drop Hamilton or Rosberg if they are unable to race together cleanly


Mercedes have announced their intention in considering either Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg if the pair refuse or cannot race together cleanly. The ultimatum from Mercedes sports boss Toto Wolff comes after the drivers' collusion in Belgium. 
Wolff said: 
"We would have to take decisions and take the consequences of having a different line-up. If we are not able to manage the two of them following the Mercedes-Benz spirit then we need to admit that. When you are managing a team it is very important to keep it balanced. I would very much like the penalties we have been implementing to stay within the team because it is just not fair on the driver to discuss that in public. We have made it very clear this is an unacceptable scenario for us, for both of them. We don't want this to happen ever again."
Mercedes sport team have made it clear before this weekend's Italian Grand Prix that there must be no more on-track contact.
