Alain Prost has said it would be a shame if Mercedes opt to use team orders with their drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
However, the four-time champion who had a famous heated rivalry with team mate Alain Prost, has admitted that if he were in charge of the team, he would do the same.
"If with two or three Grands Prix until the end, Toto Wolff issues instructions, it will have to be accepted but of course it's a shame," he told the French sports daily L'Equipe. "I would do the same thing."
"In a team, there is always one of the drivers who wants to gain the upper hand, but as far as I am concerned, the problem should be resolved between them."
"That's what happened with myself and Ayrton Senna, even if our relationship deteriorated after that," he added. "But I think as long as they (Hamilton and Rosberg) are out the front, team orders are not necessary."
