SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Toto Wolff insists Mercedes held "zero" discussions with Sebastian Vettel about the possibility of a switch from Ferrari.
On Saturday Ferrari confirmed a new three-year deal for the championship leader, ending speculation of a switch to Mercedes for 2018 or 2019. Immediately after the confirmation of the deal Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda suggested the team had sounded out the German about the possibility of a drive.
Lauda told Sky: "We discussed it briefly once with him, but the more competitive Ferrari goes the less the reason he would want to leave.
