Silverstone: Mercedes motorsport chief Toto Wolff heaped praise on the resilience and talent of both of his team's drivers on Monday in the wake of Lewis Hamilton's victory and Nico Rosberg's retirement in Sunday's stirring British Grand Prix.

Wolff said both men, who are locked in a titanic duel for this year's drivers' world championship, had shown mental strength and set a fine example in recent weeks as they coped with the pressures of expectation.
