Mercedes say that they have "drawn a line" under Lewis Hamilton's controversial driving in the Abu Dhabi finale.

Mercedes have "drawn a line" under Lewis Hamilton's controversial driving in the Abu Dhabi finale.

The team had considered penalising the Briton for the way in which he backed new world champion Nico Rosberg into Mercedes's rivals as they battled for the 2016 title.

However, Mercedes now have the "huge" matter of replacing the newly-retired Rosberg for 2017 on their plate, with team chairman Niki Lauda also saying that the issue of Hamilton's driving in Abu Dhabi will not even be a topic of conversation.

"There is no need to say anything to Lewis," said the F1 legend.

"We have no problem about how he raced in Abu Dhabi. We have drawn a line under it."

Meanwhile, after Hamilton claimed that he was the only one not surprised by Rosberg's shock decision, the triple world champion says he has no plans to follow his former teammate into retirement.

"I hope to continue driving a Formula 1 car for at least another 10 years," Hamilton is quoted as saying by El Mundo Deportivo.

The 2017 championship is due to get underway on March 26 in Australia.
