Team orders would be a PR
disaster in front 140,000 British fans, reminiscent of the worst days of
Ferrari in the early 2000s, which is likely to be why other more
extreme alternatives are being considered.
The decision will be taken in the coming days, principally by Wolff
along with Niki Lauda, the three-time champion and Mercedes chairman,
and Paddy Lowe, the technical boss. Dieter Zetsche, the chairman of
Mercedes, will be kept in the loop but is expected to leave the decision
itself to Wolff.
Hamilton was at pains not to put himself at odds with the team as he
left Spielberg, but he will use all his powers of persuasion to try to
stop Mercedes implementing team orders, something which is at odds with
everything he stands for as a racing driver.
