Mercedes boss Toto Wolff wants to wrap up Lewis Hamilton in cotton wool with the British driver on the brink of winning the world championship. Hamilton is 67 points clear of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel with only four rounds remaining following his lights-to-flag victory in Japan. But team principal Wolff has warned Hamilton that despite holding an almost unassailable points lead the title race is not over – and revealed he did not want to contemplate his star driver breaking a bone. “Freak incidents happen at any time, and one failure to finish or a bad result suddenly wipes out a large chunk of points,” Wolff said. 🎊 🏆 🙌🏾❤️ #StillWeRise #DrivenByEachOther #F1 pic.twitter.com/Z025R3E4ZB — Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton) October 7, 2018“I have imagined and I have dreamt about winning the title all year long,” said Hamilton, who is in Tokyo on Monday to promote his Tommy Hilfiger clothing range.
