I've no doubt it was motivated by a desire to accumulate the maximum possible team points from the race, but it was badly handled, poorly communicated to both drivers and ultimately the wrong call - Rosberg lost the win when he failed to get past the Toro Rosso, not because of Hamilton.

Set up nicely for Spa - I'm sure some things will have been ironed out internally by the time we get there.

Just revisiting this thread. Looks like I was wrong about Spa!
