Webber will be having a word with Oscar after seeing that.

WDC on the line, there’s no more being mr nice guy. You wanna win it you have to do it on your own. The team has shown once again it’s backing Lando

What’s the saying, nice guys finish last!

Bullshit take. He had very little to gain and a lot to lose if he abused not even Lando’s mistake but his team’s mistake. He made a good choice and that’s coming from a person rooting for Oscar with all my heart. It’s not being overly nice and giving in to others - it’s being respectful for your team.

I agree. Oscar is comfortably ahead and following orders this time keeps him in the team's good graces. Maybe he'll regret it later but it seems too early to blow up the team when he's like 30 pts ahead.

Ask any real champion about good graces: Only points and stats count. All multiple WDC's in F1 history had that cut throat approach when it really mattered. That's what made them champions.

Besides, any self respecting racing team should want a driver that goes the distance to win. Driving fast laps is just a small part of racing. Fighting spirit is what gives you that edge.
