Exactly and it's not priority because Rosberg is leading WDC but to prevent stupidity against team's interest, to prevent adding pointless variables to the race/strategy.PhillipM wrote:If Lewis gets in front and backs Nico into Red Bull or Ferrari then Mercedes will just pit Nico first to get him out of the way, they've prior form on that one!
This pushing back tactic is as of now in urban legend territory. Most likely it's not going to work, you're losing advantage (seconds), it assumes pace advantage on every tyre/stint, even if you are quicker you need to push later, random events can happen (SC), works only in pitstop window, it's a distraction, if track allows overtake can happen later etc.
The only one that is worse is "save fuel to attack on the last lap" tactic - this one doesn't exists even in theory
Rosberg got it several times.

won't happen, he will continue doing sill things. (the little angstbeisser)
