Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff says the team are ready to “start from zero again” following their 2017 success, adding they won’t underestimate their competition next year.

The German manufacturer have dominated Formula 1 since the sport switched to V6 turbo engines at the start of 2014, winning the double in each of the last four seasons with Lewis Hamilton claiming three Drivers’ titles and Nico Rosberg one.

Merc will no doubt start the 2018 season as favourites again, but Wolff warns it is “important to stay humble” and “forget” about their recent success.

“I think we have a good organisation in place and somehow the wheel rolls now, but having said that you must never underestimate any of the competition,” he told ESPN.
