Wolff in two minds after Hamilton ignores orders

YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Toto Wolff says he is split over how to react to Lewis Hamilton's race tactics at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after his driver ignored a direct order from fellow team boss Paddy Lowe.

In one last attempt to force the championship back in his favour, Hamilton backed teammate Nico Rosberg into the chasing pack at the season finale in Abu Dhabi. If Rosberg dropped from second to fourth Hamilton would have been back in line for the title, but ultimately Rosberg finished second to take the championship.

"As it was a highly probable scenario [Hamilton's tactics], there was lots of discussion around it [ahead of the race]," Wolff said.
