i call bullshit on the team orders theory...

basically buttons was switched to a two stopper so that he would avoid Rosberg.... if he had continued on with a 3 stopper.. he woulda come out right behind rosberg (who was on a much longer stint)... n hence woulda held him up...

for one reason or another Rubens just didnt slam in the lap times when required.. if he had.. he woulda come out comfortably infront of button...

not taking anything away from Rubens... but i dun think the team deliberately favoured button... well not @ this stage of the season anyway...
u gota take into account that there is competition within the team too.. between Jensons crew and Rubens' crew...
