    Under normal circumstances, yes. But... when you get pushed over into pure marbles, all bets are off.

    We are so numbed to the fact that team orders are so out in the open that we are actually defending them. The problem is the fact that Web and Seb couldn't race, not the fact that one of them toed the line and the other didn't. IMO the only person who should be controlling a race is the driver who is leading.

    I wondered where he went as all we saw on the TV was him divert to the opposite side of the track from the pits.

    Good for him - perhaps a sign of things to come?

    Tire management diminishes 'racing' as a sport IMHO. If teams are only racing at 8/10ths to preserve tires...why are we watching? What are we watching?

    Reluctantly losing interest...

    Sure I would like to see Webber plant Vettel in the wall but that would be a waste of money. I think it would be great if Webber had multi 21 painted on his helmet.

    That pretty much sums it up, I have to say this whole thing made the race a hell of a lot more interesting. Unfortunately at Mark's expense.

    Just never been a fan of webber. Don't know why. 2 more F1 titles by Vettle and he ties M.Schmacher for the most in a row with one team., now that would be something to see, and over look a bit of passing.

    Thanks. First time through that picture did not load and I just got the text. Using a laptop at Starbucks sometimes gives me less than perfect service.

    That is pretty funny.

    Were I CH, Vettle would be sitting out two races for disobeying team orders. And if he did it again, fired.

    I am with you but they won't do it. Seb is TOO valuable (they think) to make mad. and Fred, Kimi and LH will go by Webber like he's waiting for a cab.

    Agree with both of these.

    Remember when Magic Johnson got Paul Westhead fired?

    I met a guy here who said who said his son was an engineer on Webber's crew. The father was wearing a nice red Ferrari hat. You can't make this stuff up.
