Northamptonshire Police has provided a statement to the PA news agency regarding the case of an anonymous e-mail accusing Mercedes of sabotaging Lewis Hamilton.
In recent weeks, a portion of Lewis Hamilton‘s fans have become very loud in their suggestions that Lewis is being treated unfairly by Mercedes.
Some are even saying that Mercedes could be doing something to purposely slow Lewis down. Unfortunately, cases of online abuse aimed at George Russell have also been reported.
Ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, the Daily Mail revealed they received an anonymous e-mail titled ‘A potential death warrant for Lewis’, supposedly from a member of Mercedes, which claimed that the team was purposely sabotaging Lewis.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has since strongly denied the accusations and denied that it was sent by any employee of the team. He also announced the police has been called to find the person who sent it.
