Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has given no guarantees that the team will remain in the sport beyond the 2020 season. There are ongoing talks between Mercedes and F1 owners Liberty Media about new terms about a new commercial deal.

This is despite Mercedes winning six back to back titles and completely dominating the sport in recent years.

"Everything indicates that we will stay. But it's not a given," Wolff told Motorsport.com.

"We are in the middle of discussing the new Concorde Agreement. In connection with this - and independently of it - we are discussing the development of the automobile and its effects on sport."

Both drivers have had strong seasons once again, Lewis Hamilton winning the drivers' championship, while Valtteri Bottas has comfortably wrapped up second place.
