Mercedes has dismissed speculation that it is considering quitting Formula One at the end of the 2018 season.
The official statement came after Auto Bild published an interview with former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan in which he was asked if Sebastian Vettel would move from Ferrari to Mercedes next year. After saying he thought the four-time world champion would stay put, Jordan went on to speculate that Mercedes "will probably pull the plug at the end of 2018".
Jordan added: "I think they will go for the titles this and next year and then the board of directors in Stuttgart will decide to sell the team and stay only as an engine maker.
