Have to take issue with this - no team boss in the history of motor racing will have wanted their two drivers going hammer and tong in the closing stages of a race if they are running together, either if in the lead or a decent points finish with little chance of improving that result. Cack all to do with the current regulations, it's a team sport and always has been if you're running >1 car.
