To be fair, there's a difference in having your "Turn it up to 11" mode actually turn it down to 8, and having a few cogs ready to go bang.
Kind of agree with the asking for advice though. But I can't help but think that was an instinctive question and had the pit wall said "Sorry Nico, we can't tell you that". He'd have figured that out by himself. I think it's fair to assume he's a better driver than all of us and has a better understanding of how the cars' gearboxes work than any of us, like the rest of the drivers.

He's a twat.
Lewis was in technological trouble in Baku and his mechanics refused to tell him what to do. He had a moan about it, but got on with it.
Nico just shit the bed.
I'm (maybe foolishly) assuming that Nico's not quite so savvy about how everything actually works because if I'm told to avoid 7th gear, my immediate response would be just to double-pull the paddle in 6th once the revs were high enough.
