I think it was a decision foisted on him by Toto. Lewis is legendarily good on tires and yet they brought him into the pits with his tires at 70% after 20 laps and only 10 to go. That call gave the race to Bottas. But MB got their manufacturers' crown and that, after all, is the one with the big check.

Again it just shows how great Merc was/is as a team to achieve great results year after year. Even with the faster cars, you still need to finish on Sunday which Ferrari has had but just can't get the job done.
I think Ferrari is still rebuilding. I like the team; they should be a serious presence next year. Perhaps the drivers need to step up their professionalism and consistency.
