    Oddly enough I find myself agreeing with ioan. But there is another possibility. If the team and Nick already know he wont be at Beamer next year, why wouldnt they prefer RK to win?

    But all you Germans should not get too worried, Nick´s replacement is German too. At least through his mother.

    Here's what a good team player says , and proof of what I saw in Nick in those interviews :

    "No, I was not fully satisfied as I had a good chance to win my first Grand Prix," he said. "However it was a great result for the team finishing 1-2, with a perfect strategy for the team.

    "Converting me to a one-stop and having Robert on a two-stop, in the end even if there would have been a safety car, I would have been lucky with the win.

    "So it was great for the team, but of course if you are so close to your first win then you cannot be satisfied."

    I was going to post the same quotes.
    You are right, he's a good team player, he managed to explain his frustration in a positive way. When will certain drivers learn to do it the same way?
