Mercedes director Niki Lauda has refuted reports claiming that he has fallen out with senior figures at the constructor.

The Austrian has been working as an intermediary between the company's Stuttgart headquarters and the Formula 1 team's Brackley base, but The Times has claimed that the former world champion had fallen out with Toto Wolff as the 66-year-old is keen to retain his role as a pundit on German television.

However, Lauda has claimed that "there is no discussion" of a rift between himself and other Mercedes officials.

"I have a contract until 2017 and I want to meet it," Lauda told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

"I don't know who puts these stories in the world. After the race in Mexico, I said to Sebastian Vettel 'Things went not so well for you today!' And he replied 'Well everything with you guys is haywire!'

"But the truth is that Toto and I are working together in harmony — it's all wonderful. I want to stay, so if they want the same then we will go on."

Mercedes finished one-two at last weekend's Mexican Grand Prix, with Nico Rosberg taking victory from world champion Lewis Hamilton.
