TOTO WOLFF slammed the "conspiracy theorists and lunatics" accusing Mercedes of sabotaging Lewis Hamilton.

The Austrian confirmed the police had been called after an email was sent to key F1 personnel and journalists accusing the team of "systematically sabotaging" the seven-time champion.

The email was sent anonymously but claimed to be from a Mercedes staff member. Team boss Wolff (below) denied that was the case.

He said: "It's not from a member of the team. When we're getting these kinds of emails - and we're getting tons of them it's upsetting, particularly when somebody is talking about death and all these things.
