Lewis Hamilton was victorious in today's Russian Grand Prix at Sochi after the Mercedes team asked their drivers to switch positions. This clearly left Bottas disappointed after the race while third placed Vettel limited the damage in a weekend that saw Mercedes as the strongest team.
Shame on you Mercedes. Hope they change it around again if by race end they end up in 1-2.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II #Team44 supporter
Personally, i think FI have different considerations. They are fighting for the best team result, not for the win.

Brutal... is what i have to say about the team orders from Mercedes. And i was ok if they did it in the tyre changes, or in a late stage of the race. Not when we, fans, are about to watch a scrap from the top 2 drivers.
If this was made by Ferrari...
Since gambling is now part of F1 (officially), it does raise the question about team orders and potential result manipulation.

Gonna get interesting... if i were Ferrari, i’d let Kimi close the gap, then get him to pass Vettel to put more pressure on Mercedes. Kimi’s tires are the freshest from the top 4 cars. Surely he could do some damage.
@Jolle; true, but what about insider information? Could be a lot of money involved.

lol, first he has to close the gap, unlikely with his current pace.
