Manuel Margot Jersey .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras.Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes new rules of engagement will not change his approach to racing despite the threat of much greater deterrents.Hamiltons last-lap clash with teammate Nico Rosberg in Austria triggered a furious reaction from team boss Toto Wolff, who threatened implementing the unpopular team orders to prevent a recurrence in 2016. After a meeting at the teams Brackley headquarters on Thursday morning Mercedes announced its drivers are still free to race, though it had strengthened its rules of engagement.When asked ahead of this weekends British Grand Prix if the new rules would prevent him going for the sort of move he successfully completed on Rosberg in Suzuka and Austin last year, Hamilton replied: Unfortunately everything thats been said is private and confidential so Im not allowed to say. But were still able to race... In all those races the stewards deemed me racing so I will still race like that.Asked if the deterrents were enough to scare him out of racing in his usual fashion, Hamilton smiled and said: I guess I should say yes!He went on to say: In all honesty I think our destiny has always been in our hands, so doesnt really change anything. Were still able to race which is a positive, no team orders, which is great for the fans, so everybody should be excited.Hamilton was then asked how he would have responded to the latest collision if he was in Wolffs position.Me personally I think Id probably be in a better position because Im a racing driver, so I know what you would do and what I would do on a race track and what I would not.dddddddddddd Our great engineers and individuals who dont race, its difficult for them to understand the decisions we take when were racing at 200 mp/h. So I think Im in a better position but Im not going to tell you what I would and would not do.I would want them to race, thats for sure, and I wouldnt bring in team orders because racing is why Im here and why I would be there - to watch them race. Id probably understand that when you have two cars that are racing first and second there are going to be times, out of 60 races together, theres going to be five collisions ... I dont know how many weve had but its a small amount compared to the amount of successful races and one-twos weve had. So thats me.Late in the press conference a German journalist asked Hamilton if he would even obey team orders if they were implemented, referring back to the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix. In reply Hamilton laughed and said: Ooooh buddy, youre feeling a certain way huh! Youve just got to let it go buddy, it was a couple of years ago.I would, thats my job, its what I get paid to do, it is what we agreed today and whats in our agreement. If you go to [Hungary] 2014 and listen to manuscripts youll understand I didnt say no, I just said I wouldnt get in the way if he got close and he didnt get close. ' ' '
