Mercedes would not rule out Formula One title contender Lewis Hamilton taking another engine penalty this season after team mate Valtteri Bottas incurred a five-place drop at the U.S. Grand Prix on Friday.
Bottas, who was fastest in first practice for Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix at Austin's Circuit of the Americas, is now using his sixth engine -- three more than he is allowed for the season.
"I can't say whether we will be taking one and how are the percentages," the Austrian told reporters. "But obviously the risk is still there. Aston Martin, Williams and McLaren also use Mercedes engines, the most reliable in the past but now causing unexpected headaches. "We are trying to really get on top of the problems and we haven’t understood fully ... We are hanging on for dear life in supplying all customers and that is not trivial."
