Fantasy Scenario - you the F1 driver - what do you do?

Something i was thinking about last night -

Ok, you are F1 driver

It's the last race of the season at China 2005, your currently 3rd place in the WDC, 10 points behind the championship leader, but even if you won the race, you couldn't win the WDC because you don't have enough race wins. Your teammate is 1 point ahead of you and can win the WDC if he wins the race and the championship leader doesn't score.

Due to internal politics within the team, your contract hasn't been renewed, so this is your last race for the team, and more importantly you don't get on with your teammate.

The championship table looks like this going into the race....

Championship leader 90 points
Your teammate 81 points
You 80 points

Right, the race is 7 laps from the end, the championship leader is leading the race, you are second and your teamate is third. All pitstops are complete, so the team can't "interfere" with the stratergy due to a "dodgy stop" , when disaster strikes the championship leader and he goes out of the race, you are now leading the race with your teammate behind you, you know it's coming, and it does "let your teammate through to win the race and the championship!"

You have nothing to lose, what do you do?

Do you obey the order so the table finishes....

Teammate 91 points - WDC
(previous) Championship leader 90 points
You 88 points

Or do you refuse to let him through, taking the win, and more importantly, 2nd place ahead of your teammate in the WDC so the table finishes...

Championship leader 90 points - WDC
You 90 points
Teammate 89 points

Man, i have too much time on my hands
