Another question mark is: what does Mercedes want?
All season long, they have been trying to get the maximum result for the team: i.e. a one-two finish, with very little interest in who finishes first or second.
Do they want to go of the season on a high (with the best possible team result) or have they decided to not care for this race?
Unfortunately for Lewis, the best team result is noncompliant with his ambition.
Generally, Mercedes has stopped the leading car first. There have been a few exceptions where the second car stopped first, to get it back up to 2nd position, but never to get the 2nd car past the leader.
Would they stop Rosberg first if - let's say - he is running 4th to enable him to get (back) up to 3rd or 2nd?
Would Mercedes happily accept a 1-4 or would they try to make it a 1-2 by being clever with strategies?
