Re: 2016 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix at Yas Island
Whoopsy:Actually Aaron, take off your Nico glasses and step back and look.
Just this year alone, Lewis is the only one with engine problems.
And Mercedes already had the constructor championship in the bag, and also the driver's championship, as the only 2 drivers that can win are Mercedes drivers. IF they are really impartial, then the team order was pointless. The fight for the title came down to the last race, the drivers are racers so ignoring a pointless order is just fact of life for racers.
Nico is world champion, and the season is done. He has more consistent finishes and hence wining the title.
And we looked forward to next year.
I'm 100% in the Lewis-camp, but I don't believe in these conspiracy theories. I think the only reason why they were issuing team-orders, was because Lewis's strategy was putting Mercedes' 1-2 at risk. That said, I thought it was a brilliant move, sadly it didn't materialize.
