just read that Benson blog thing from that link in the quote zephyrus posted.
IMO team orders, of any kind, even masked up with a save fuel command need to be just chucked out the window. fans, want to see overtaking and racing to the line. the teams actions clearly go against that and so too is the mentality of some drivers. Lewis was a bit unhappy even after winning because button over took him despite both being told to save fuel (ie hold position). Mclaren were gifting him the win that way and imo thats not how it should be. Button obviously thought similar, hence overtaking hamilton anyway. its that or hamilton feels like by telling him to save fuel and not telling button mclaren were trying to hand the win to button. either way its balls.
the racing should not be conducted from the pit wall.
