Toto Wolff believes that Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are more evenly matched than the championship standings suggest.
Hamilton is on the brink of winning his second straight world title and has dominated Rosberg this season.
However, team boss Wolff believes that the German will be a contender once again next year after he showed his class in Russia last time out.
He said: “It is very close always between the two of them and you can see that they push each other very much.
“Lewis had the momentum on his side in the last couple of races, or scored the results, but Russia was Nico's weekend all through the sessions.
“Lap one was strong, just with the right doses of aggression, and I really enjoyed seeing him bounce back like he did.”
Rosberg retired in the early stages with a throttle problem allowing Hamilton to coast to victory.
However, the German had been the dominant driver to that point.
