Ricciardo to Mercedes? Let's see, says Wolff

Originally written by Joas van Wingerden. This version is a translation.

Toto Wolff says Mercedes will continueo to back Valtteri Bottas as Lewis Hamilton's team-mate, but offered a tantalising response when asked about the possibility to signing Daniel Ricciardo when his contract with Red Bull runs out at the end of the year.

The driver market is likely to go into overdrive this year, with the likes of Ricciardo and Bottas expected to be on the market.

Hamilton's current deal also expires at the season's end, but the world champion is expected to renew with the Silver Arrows in the coming weeks.

Asked about a pursuit of Ricciardo, Wolff told Sky Sports: "I think one of the most important values in business and privately is that you have to stay loyal and be loyal.

"Our two drivers, Valtteri and Lewis, we trust them, we empower them and give them all the support.

"If we were at the start of the season and already entertaining negotiations with other drivers we wouldn't be giving him the right support.

"Let's see how the season pans out.

"We are absolutely behind [Bottas], as we are behind Lewis. We will re-evaluate in the summer."
