"With Leclerc they have a future champion in the car, and with Sebastian they have a four-time champion. So I think it's a luxury problem for them," he said at a sponsor event in Turin.

"Difficult is the wrong word. I think it is better to say challenging," Wolff added.

"We have had that situation before and in fact we have it every year. You want to have two competitive drivers to compete for the constructors' championship," he said.
