I suppose that sort of thing is an easy target for mickey-taking, regardless of where the request originally came from.
On the one hand, regardless of whether he asked for it or not, Rosberg certainly seemed to be bleating about it
not happening quite a bit but, OTOH, if Rosberg's been told he doesn't need to attack Hamilton cos' he's going to be given the position then it's probably not surprising that he gets a bit upset about it after sitting around, waiting, for half a dozen laps.
Course, my mind goes back to Turkey, where both Hamilton and Button were told to dial their engines back and hold station, but Button decided it'd be better if he overtook Hamilton and
then they started the holding-station thing.
Didn't take Lewis half a dozen laps to realise he'd been shafted. In fact, he took the lead back after about 3 corners.
You snooze, you lose.
