As such it would be complete madness for Mercedes to cut their own throat as it were and not issue team orders when they’ve been necessary.
When the WDC and team championship is secured, then let’s see what happens.

Makes you realize how good Nico’s championship season was. If Hamilton wasn’t on pole Nico was. If Nico wasn’t on pole he was usually within a .1 at minimum. Bottas isn’t anywhere the the talent of Nico, let alone Lewis. Mercedes let them duke it out that season, only because Nico showed race winning pace every weekend. Unlike Bottas.
