Where does Nico Rosberg go from here?

[AndyL]

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.

Do you have any basis for the presumption I highlighted other than your own bias? Rosberg did not need to pit for tyres any more than Hamilton did. They were doing the same lap times.

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'm sure some folks are having as much trouble understanding how you don't get it. How is calling in both drivers handing Rosberg a pity win? It made no change to the positions in the race, which Rosberg was already winning.

The call was not "Oh Nico needs to pit, we'd better pull Lewis in as well so Nico can still win." The call was "both cars might get in to tyre trouble before the end of the race, and we have a pit stop in hand, so we'll call them both in for a precautionary stop."
