Wrong, Rosberg was in the lead and the decision was made, presumably by his side of the garage, or even worse paddy lowe. It was his prerogative to do what he wanted/needed to do. He could have told them his tires were ok or accepted coming in. Because they did that with his car, doesn't mean they have to do it for hamilton's car.
I simply don't understand how some folks don't get this. I see absolutely no reason for them to have made that call other than to hand Rosberg a pity win.

I don't recall Mercedes asking Rosberg to come into the pits in Monaco, despite a monumental 32 second gap from Hamilton prior to the SC
Where were all you guys there talking about fairness, or complaining that Hamilton wasn't "allowed to run his race" then.
oh well

And TBH i bet you most of you would be applauding a "tactical Masterstroke" by Rosberg if the roles were reversed and he decided to stay out. then have a go at hamilton for throwing away his race and saying things like "ultimately he is the driver in his car..."
oh wait...yeah, you guys did say that for monaco 2015
lol
