Lewis Hamilton must not play games in world title showdown with Nico Rosberg - Toto Wolff
LEWIS HAMILTON must not attempt to use skullduggery to sink Nico Rosberg's world title hopes at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, according to his team boss.
Lewis Hamilton is 12 points behind Nico Rosberg going into the final race of the season.
It means if the Brit wins his team-mate needs only to get on the podium to win his first ever world title.
Reports had suggested that Hamilton might attempt to go slow at the front of the race to give the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo the chance to overtake Rosberg.
"For me, Nico Rosberg will win the world title," Lauda said.
"If everything goes to plan Lewis will win the race and Nico should finish second or third."
