    Yeah I also watch the F1TV feed and I see 2 reasons why McLaren didn’t go for that.

    1. RB in 2013 had internal demarcation between the drivers. Vettel was number 1 and Webber number 2.
    2. McLaren want to treat the drivers ‘equally’. They don’t have the stones like Red Bull/Mercedes do to execute the best strategy and then handle any driver fallout later. Even when said strategy is justified because it is the best outcome for the team.
