Team orders are the reason you have two drivers. I don’t understand why we have to be so coy about it. The point of competing is winning.
I can understand people being against team orders when it's early in the season or when the lead in the championship is large enough. But to get the drivers championship I think team orders are a valid way of achieving it.
I resonate with this. The summer break is the perfect time to make this decision. You've had a majority of the races, and the faster driver will be ahead. If the other driver's unhappy he's had enough races to prove himself. He can try again next year.
