You may have forgotten that, while the drivers are in it for the title, the teams are in it for the money. There is no profit in accepting lower place finishes which affect both end of season payouts and next season's sponsorship. Rosberg was going to get passed by several drivers when he made a pit stop no matter how wide his car was up to that point. And the longer he held up the train the more cars would be bunched up to pass. It was much better to let Hamilton go for a try at the win.

Anything is possible. Ogier could start the year uncommitted and see how Solberg goes (assuming he's in the team) before he decides on a full season. Solberg would certainly be hungry, but is that...
