F1 is a strange sport. As a racing driver, your goal is to be the fastest person on the course in order to stand on the highest step of the podium. The catch is that there is another person working for the same employer with that same goal in mind. If you're a true competitor, your goal is always to beat everyone.
These are the most competitive group of drivers on earth and you want them to keep up some charrade that they honestly give a shit about their teammate? Lewis' comments are laughable. He is arguably the most competitive person in the sport right now and he's playing the "aww shucks" angle now. Save it... if it was the other way around he would have stopped at nothing to pass Nico, just as he was pushing to the max to catch the Red Bulls. Racing is racing. If you're the fastest driver in the fastest car, you should win the race. Period.
