Valtteri Bottas starts tomorrow's race from pole position. Lewis Hamilton, who is behind Bottas on the starting grid, is close to the rival from Scuderia Ferrari Sebastian Vettel. The Mercedes principal said, the team will discuss the team orders with its drivers before the race in Sunday morning.

“We are not in a part of the season when I would particularly enjoy the Mercedes racing each other at the front. As much as I hate to say it as a race fan, but you need to calculate a little bit more at that stage”, - said Wolff.

“So, it [orders] is very tricky decision to make and we will be discussing it tomorrow morning with both of them. And as always come to a solution”.

Also, Toto said the team and the drivers don’t like using team orders, because Lewis and Valtteri want to fight on their own.

“None of us actually likes it, because we have seen it in the past from other teams, and we have had that discussion between Nico [Nico Rosberg] and Lewis. Lewis wouldn’t want it, because he wants to go on his own and Valtteri doesn’t want it, because he needs that win that he didn’t have this year”.
