Mercedes have called in the police to investigate the origin of the email accusing them of ‘sabotaging’ Lewis Hamilton.
The source of the correspondence was concealed by an invented email address, using a name defaming Hamilton’s team-mate George Russell, who they claim is being favoured by team principal Toto Wolff.
Mercedes confirmed on Friday afternoon that they have taken the matter to an unnamed police force while mounting their own investigation to find the IP address.
The team insist the correspondence was not penned by an employee – as the mystery writer implies – but by a Hamilton fan. The author asserts Wolff is ‘scorned’ by the seven-time world champion’s decision to join Ferrari next season.
Hamilton claimed on Thursday that he was unaware of the letter, which was sent on June 10 – a day after the Canadian Grand Prix, in which he finished fourth, a place behind Russell – to all the sport’s high-rollers and journalists who were previously copied into the leak of Red Bull boss Christian Horner‘s exchanges with a female employee in March.
