Mercedes asked its half a million Twitter followers for advice on Thursday.
"Team orders or free racing? There has been a lot of debate since Belgium — this is a chance to have your say," it asked via Twitter.
It then posted two options, one in favor of team orders and another in favor of free racing.
Fans were asked to vote on the issue by either retweeting or marking their preferred option as a favorite.
The team then announced the result of the vote after four hours of voting, revealing 92% of the audience wanted the drivers to be allowed to continue to race each other.
Proving just how thorny the issue of team orders is in F1, Mercedes then asked: "To those who would prefer to see team orders implemented, how would you employ them?
"To the 92% in favor of free racing, what sanctions would you impose for breaking the 'no contact' rule? Would you suspend a driver for a race and not maximize constructors' points? Perhaps you'd set the order at qualifying slots?"
What say you Oppoverse?

Free race, no sanctions. Because RACING.

Free racing, of course. And as far as the sanctions? At this point, given the near-inevitability of Merc's constructors' championship, I'd bring in a solid number two points earner for one race to teach the errant driver (hypothetically, let's say... Nico ) a lesson. Who to bring in? The number one number two ever: Barrichello. Although I wonder if Webber might jump at the chance.

Free racing. You kill each other? That's racing.
