		</div><p>Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has called for &#8220;calm&#8221; as the Formula One constructors&#8217; champions look to build on their recent success without Nico Rosberg in 2017.</p>
<p>Rosberg, 31, shocked the sport when he decided to retire just five days after being crowned drivers&#8217; champion in November.</p>
<p>The German endured a frosty relationship with team-mate Lewis Hamilton and it remains to be seen who will fill Rosberg&#8217;s seat next season, with Williams driver Valtteri Bottas heavily linked.</p>
<p>Mercedes may wait until the end of January to announce his permanent successor, but, in an email seen by Press Association Sport, Wolff urged the team to pull together.</p>
<p>After congratulating the team on lifting a third straight constructors&#8217; and drivers&#8217; title, Wolff&#8217;s email went on to read: <i>&#8220;Our position in the spotlight puts every decision taken and every word spoken under an intense microscope.</p>
<p>&#8220;They are debated passionately among our fans and interpreted by the media.</p>
<p>&#8220;But there has been enough talking, now. This is the period for calm and considered reflection; to savour our achievements and prepare for the next campaign.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>The likes of Fernando Alonso and Pascal Wehrlein have also been muted as potential replacements for Rosberg, but Wolff appears to be in no rush to announce the Mercedes line-up.</p>
<p>He added: <i>&#8220;As we move forward, we will continue to be guided above all by the best interests of our team. This philosophy is bigger than any one season or any one person.</p>
<p>&#8220;It has forged a group that is humble in victory and gracious in defeat; hungry for challenge and resilient under pressure; never satisfied with the status quo, always seeking to improve.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our values have been the foundation stones of three world championships. And there will be no compromise as we begin our quest for a fourth in 2017.&#8221;</i></p>
