Wolff does not expect Rosberg, Hamilton repercussions

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff does not expect to see any lingering ill feeling between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton carry over into this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix.

Rosberg was aggrieved during and after the race in China last week as he felt his second position had been made harder than it needed to be due to the speed team-mate Lewis Hamilton had been driving during the middle stint, which backed him into Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. An "intense" debrief followed where Wolff, who refused to blame Hamilton, made it clear team orders could be implemented later in the year if Mercedes feels race victories are coming under threat.
