The problem was the teams orders, not what SV did. Despite what they say, everyone knows that SV is the number 1 driver there & in all honesty is the one that is more likely to challenge for the championship - if he'd stayed behind & at the end of the season finished 2nd by only a couple of points everyone would be looking back at this race & say it was a mistake. The team should just be honest with their drivers & the public and should have just told MW to get out the way - it would still be boring team orders but at least it would have made sense.
