    He was ordered not to pass Vettel, the fact that he pushed and closed up on him doesn't mean he defied orders - in the end he didn't overtake him.

    I'd doesn't look like he only closed up and didn't try to pass when you watch the vid. He was going for it. He just wasn't able to make it by.

    By the way, I'm not bringing it up to justify Malaysia. Only to point out that this has happened before with no consequences. Makes it harder now for the team to dish out a punishment when they didn't the last time.

    Interesting stuff. I imagine Webber will leave at the end of the season and Red Bull will replace him with a clear #2 to Vettel. I wonder if Webber will retire at that point or if he'll go to another team. Perhaps Force India could use him... they seem to be finding pace recently.

    Didn't Schumacher get lambasted for racing someone too close to the wall? It seems fair to make it difficult for them by giving them not much room, but insane to deliberately punt them into the wall. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I really like Webber, but he just doesn't start well for some reason. I don't know whether it's an issue getting the rears warmed up enough on the out-lap, clutch control, or what... but he seldom gets a good start. :eek:

    I suspect an epic first corner battle is most likely if Webber starts in the row ahead of Vettel and it's a short run to turn 1.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    This could turn out to be quite something - A pissed off Aussie -v- a bullheaded German.

    Tears, anyone? ;)

    :)

    I'd love to be the proverbial fly-on-the-wall when they see Charlie in a few weeks! ;)

    What's the chances Seb will gift him one?

    Cheers,

    For all we know, this is why this happened in the first place. I wouldn't put it past Bernie...

    He didn't script it, but hardly surprising he's stirring the pot......

    Remember him turning his mugging into $. ;)

    Lewis Hamilton: “You have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and know you won fair and square" on his own team orders issue.

    He felt Nico should have been on podium. This is an attitude that Vettel, within the team orders issue, has not attained.
