If drivers from different teams were involved, I've no doubt there would have been a penalty if NR did not let LH pass. No point in the stewards telling Merc to make NR concede the spot as Merc has the ability to order its drivers to do what it wants and can ultimately arrange the cars to be in any order it wants post implementing any stewards request.
Confirms that NR is the #1 driver in the team. If LH was the #1 or equal #1, Merc would have asked NR to concede the spot and there could be no real argument from NR about doing it.
