Merc will never allow Rosberg to beat Lewis in the championship. They would end up with a driver who is completely out of control. Lewis can't even cope wth being beaten in quali, if he was beaten in the championship he would go completely primate excrement, and Merc can't afford that to happen to the one employee who earns more than the CEO himself.
