I agree that Mercedes can't just regard such a mistake. Learn from it. Analyze and find a way to not repeat this. Though firing people out of those circumstances is way off.
In world class organizations, examples are set for higher accountability for other people, by firing people, when responsible for getting job done, fail. By being forgiving in a highly competitive atmosphere, you only invite your own downfall. As this is not the first time the Merc Strategy team has got it wrong, it is time to set right example for the next set.

The strategist will probably always be the most ungrateful Job in F1 if your team is winning. All those good calls are never seen unless you do something like a Schumi 4 stopper in '04. Only the bad calls are. Then again you hear that the discussion was going on with many people talking. In addition Lewis called that too. Sounds like a team decision to me. Fire everybody? Have fun finding a new team.
You know you are talking about a strategy genius who made his name in F1 circles with those masterful decisions, right? And there isn't one blunder that man Mr. Brawn committed in his time and that is why he gets all the respect that he gets? That is the standard you set for others to follow, not of Mr. James Vowels'.
Lewis didn't said "I NEED A PIT STOP". He just said the tyres are getting colder (I have been watching every bit on Sky, until the broadcast ended just now). The strategy guy didn't took the decision because Lewis COMMANDED HIM TO DO SO.
