I have to imagine it's demoralizing what has happened to him this year and certainly at the beginning of the race, but you have to fight on.
Pretty sweet how he finished however, just shows what a pro the guy is.

I guess he was used to the w13 being uncompetitive and wanted to preserve the engine.

Just like how in 2020 they banned engine mode switching mid season to help redbull. |
I think that's why it was even more disappointing. If Mercedes was more competitive, I would understand the whole live-to-fight-another-day mind set but Mercedes literally has nothing to lose and everything to gain whether it's points or track/vehicle data. So what you blow up a PU, not like that's really going to set you back any further.
