Strikes me we might all need a little perspective. Appalling behaviour would be punching someone in the pit lane, or driving them off the road, or badmouthing a sponsor, or something that's *actually* appalling.
Breaking a contract? That's a business decision. There's always the possibility that Nico might have had to pay to leave but we're unlikely to ever know that, nor should we. Sure, Mercedes F1 might feel a tinge of corporate disappointment that they only have one golden goose right now rather than two, but let's get one thing clear: teams break contracts too of which there are too many examples to list.
Disappointing? Sure. Appalling? I don't think so, just business.
