Yes, but if he loses his WDC to Rosberg he'll be having these opportunities to win other championships with either Mclaren or Ferrari, and Wolff knows that. That's why they are so keen for Lewis to have it, especially this year.
Lewis losing out to Rosberg in the final race would explode things, and all can be said about Lewis being happy @ Merc,
he's only happy now because he's in the position to win the championship and he has won the past ones bar the last one Rosberg. He was in a different mood when Rosberg double-crossed him and if im correct, that sparked the entire Alonso-sillyseason saga.
If Lewis flips the finger to merc if things go haywire, Alonso will be ready to capitalize and grab that Merc seat.
Lewis will then have the choice of going back to Mclaren-Honda or even to Ferrari [ surely nobody remotely believes Ferrari wouldn't ditch Kimi for Lewis? ].
This weekend holds key to an amazing end to the 2014 season.
