Say you are in the lead of a race and there is like two laps remaining, and you have someone close behind. Like Max and Lando. Has it ever happened, or has anyone ever considered letting someone pass them on the second to last lap, with the expectation that they would have DRS on the last lap and get the lead back and win?

2013, at 50 odd seconds into the video Hamilton tries a bit of gamesmanship and brakes just before the DRS detection line with the hopes of letting Alonso past in order to get get DRS. Alonso cottons on in basically microseconds and brakes in response, avoiding crossing the line before Hamilton.
I cannot fathom the level at which these guys operate.
