Vettel just could be a selfish arsehole

I think you are correct ,

Why did he not just say to you Webber ,

What a Tosser Vetel is

[morris_minor]

. . . that's about the only way to prevent Webber pushing Vettel off the track in future races.

I'd like to think that MW was above that simple retaliation . . . But one thing's for sure, his car will be the "widest" car on the circuit when Vettel's behind him . . .

The thing is, if there is to be any funny business on track between the two of them it will not be Vettel's seat which will be at risk, and I'm pretty certain Webber knows this. This is the sort of team behaviour one would normally expect from Ferrari, except The Big Red seems to be turning over a new leaf regarding allowing their drivers to race these days. Perhaps Red Bull will turn out in a Scarlet livery next season...

I can't see Webber being there next year anyway, if only due to age. So he has little to loose by defending his line robustly.

Age is not a handicap whilst Webber continues to put in similar or better lap times to Vettel, which is what he has been doing consistently. I wrote earlier in the thread that I would like to see MW at Torro Rosso partnering his fellow countryman Ricciardo, but it would make far more sense if one of the rejuvenated mid-range teams such as Sauber, Williams or Force India picked him up, he would bring a wealth of experience and talent with him to any one of those teams from which the team would benefit hugely. If I were Mark I'd be angling for a Sauber drive.

Indeed, my respect for Hamilton also grew a little over the way the two Mercedes drivers behaved yesterday. Vettel has it seems shown his true colours and revealed what a total wanker he is (if that was ever in doubt).

Yeah, a more humble LH is a change in the right direction i'd say, especially acrediting Nico being the faster driver of the day,
NR's final com to Ross Brawn was brill, ''remember this one'', to that there was no response.

Shows what a devious c*nt Vettel is, the half hearted apology post race just doesn't wash, what Mark should've done is put his front wheel in his airbox and take him out in this race, not the next one or next time with same scenario !!, according to Fabio Briatore one or the other is not gonna be driving for Red Bull next year, take a guess Fabio, pointless statement.

As it turned out, he wasn't. Both were hamstrung with low fuel and Brawn wanted to avoid them both running out if they fought for position. This is a rare case of team orders making sense - for the team.

Thanks to Martin for the link
Searching on F1 didn't work !

So who watches F1 and MotoGp, or are we exclusive to one ?
I used to watch F1 but found it too boring.
Stumbled across MotoGp one day when it ran late and found it all the things I seemed to remember were there in F1
Just at the end of Mick Doohan's time
