Mercedes - The Pitwall Vs Driver debacle

[Nitrodaze]

Toto publicly slated the idea that Lewis could pick his own strategy with any success , reminding him and his adoring fans that he is a member of a big organization .

There is no "i" in team , but there is in Hamilton , and they've just had to remind him of it again .
It's gotta be a tedious job , dealing with the press on issues like these .

To be honest, it would be great if Mercedes let these guys genuinely race each other. Particularly since there are no real competition to the Mercedes team at moment. Vettel and Ferrari may pick a few scraps here and there, but they no real threat. Hence, the real duel at the front is between the Mercedes drivers. Stage managing a one two finish sort of takes away from the spectacle, the raw racing element that draws the likes of you and me to watch F1 races.

Hamilton and Rosberg are not racing each other if they cannot change their strategy mid race to try to find an advantage over the other during the race, especially on tracks like Mexico and Brasil where it is difficult to overtake the same car on the track.

I think Rosberg's 2nd place in the championship is secure now even if he has a DNF at Abu Dhabi. The Hamilton and Rosberg should be left to race and the pitwall side for each driver should be able to change strategy to give their man an advantage where one presents itself. Otherwise, , we have to watch a Mercedes procession and they should not complain if they are not getting television time as the only other excitement is in the midfield.
