SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff denounced social media conspiracy theorists after a Russian Grand Prix weekend during which Germany's Nico Rosberg won his seventh race in a row and world champion team mate Lewis Hamilton endured more engine problems.

Wolff said he was speaking out because some of the abuse directed at the Formula One team could impact on engineers and other employees.
