Mercedez Prefers Nico over Lewis
Discussion
After looking at the visualization, I am thinking if Mercedes have changed their strategy for Lewis to 3 stops
then he had a better chance to win than Roseberg.Because Lewis was almost 3 seconds ahead of him before Roseberg's 3rd pit stop and if Lewis had the super soft tyre then he could have easily cut Alonso and Ricciardo (may be).

if Mercedes did put options onto Lewis when he pitted on L40, Lewis would have had the advantage of brand new tyres compared to Rosberg who's options would of been 7 laps old & nowhere that Rosberg would of made the ground up to be within 1 seconds. For some reason they seem to be more thinking about Rosberg winning the race, rather than looking at the reality that Lewis was now the lead car because of the twist & turns of the race. And like I said previously they knew Lewis was going to jump Rosberg before he pitted on L40 because they told Rosberg. Saying this one more time if they gave Lewis the options & best/same strategy as Ricchiardo & Rosberg, Lewis would of came 1st or 2nd. because Ricchiardo pitted on L54, If they gave Lewis options could brought him in on L55/or leave him out there if Lewis felt tyres would make it, as the lead car he should have had the option, because they brought Rosberg in on L56. Mercedes messed up & their team leaders made bad decisions, it seems to favor Rosberg, As Lauda says Lewis did the right thing.
