Lewis Hamilton urges Mercedes not to implement team orders despite the recent collision with team-mate Nico Rosberg.

"I grew up wanting to race, racing the best, and being the best, by outdriving another individual. We're driving at over 200mph - you expect us to drive around and never have a problem? I doubt it. So I hope that it doesn't change and I hope we can continue to race. That's just my honest opinion from my love of this sport."

Toto Wolff has been very outspoken post-race, making no secret of the fact that team orders is a very real possibility.

    Why allow team orders?

    the race at the front will be boring, if rosberg is leading by lap 30, time to turn off the race since Team orders would stop hamilton from passing rosberg, or messing up a pitstop to get the driver the team wants to win to take the lead of the two drivers.

    F1 had banned team orders, they need to stop this from happening.
