Mercedes drivers told to obey team orders in future

[Storm]

The team doesn't give a flying expletive about that. Team interests come first as they are the ones who sign the paycheque.

But how were team interests threatened here? Lets say Hamilton gives way and Rosberg moves up but has to stop again - most likely ends up behing LH again after his stop. so no change for the team points there - infact Hamilton might well have moved up a place by then.
