Cannot agree. LH knew the only way to try to get ahead of Rosberg was to stay out. If he had, and then ballsed it up, ok, he would have been for the high jump. I don't believe it is the Engineers decision to tell him to put his engine on "10" and Rosberg on "6". All Merc chiefs did was choose another easy 1 2 finish.
LH was "given an instruction" to do it.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely right. Lewis deserved better than that from the team, who were only concerned with ensuring yet another 1-2 for the benefit of the visiting bigwigs. They care not a jot about racing, merely Merc's share price. Arrant favouritism towards the 'local boy', cynical disregard for the ethos of the 'sport'. No wonder Toto and Niki are at loggerheads...
