Toto Wolff has responded to Lewis Hamilton's claim Mercedes; choice to shuffle team mechanics has had a psychological effect on him.
Although he admits that he understands what Hamilton is saying, he insisted that he has to think of the interests of everyone in the team, not just one of the drivers.
"No football player would tell Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola who he'd like to play with. It's the manager's call to decide who is in the squad," he said. "I understand that as a driver you want the perfect cocoon but it's about how we can develop 1500 people - not one."
Both Mercedes drivers are locked in an intense battle for the drivers' title, but Wolff has said that there will be no team orders for the final rounds of the season.
"A winning streak never lasts," he said. "At a certain stage it swings in the other direction."
