I am not surprised. Nico has no orders to "stay back" and Michael cannot ask for Nico's car like he did at Ferrari (to Rubens). The only reason he won championships in the past was having the best car and a cooperating teammate (if you exclude pushing Hill out, using illegal systems in his Benetton, trying the same maneuvre on Villeneuve, and so on). Not a great champion, zero sportsmanship and a poor personality (remember him blowing up at David after their crash in the rain)...
I am sure he retired from F1 to avoid having to face Kimi as teammate ....
Now we see the tru-schu = not very good... And it is not going to get any better.
I predict we will see quick-Nick taking his seat before the end of the season due to some injury or illness or whatever they will concoct to save his (dmamaged) pride....
Yeah. I started following F1 only a few years ago. One of the first incidents I recall is when Michael "stalled" his car in Monaco during qualifying to prevent others (Alonso?) from setting a faster time. That was classless.
