Had Ferrari gotten this Canadian result overturned , the general consensus seems to be that Mercedes would have the right to feel aggrieved because they turned down Lewis's engine , instead of having him fight to get past Seb for the win .

So , rather than thrashing the motor , presumably on the most extreme settings , Lewis was now able to turn it down , certainly extending it's life .
With 3 engines per car per year , that could have a major effect on the championship .
I think Mercedes would rather take the win over the promise of engine life. Bird in hand if you get my drift.
