Well to be fair, we did see a fair fight between the two of them and Vettel came out on top. The 'problem' is that it was a fight were not supposed to have seen.

Well I don't see that episode as a "fight" to be honest davyboy.. Sebastian Vettel was ordered not to overtake Mark Webber and decided not to pay attention to a team order...

I guess this is the result of the business stakes being too high to allow a motor race to happen.

Vettel made that choice?
And even before F1 was his supposed modern day business there were team orders. More so than now it seams to me. |

Vettel drove around the outside of Webber. It was a tough pass where everyone else in the field just does it down the straight. I don't think Webber was going easy and just letting him past, he looked to be trying his hardest to hold him out.

Of course he was, when you're about to get shafted by your team mate you're not going to just pull over and let him by, are you?

So, to be clear, Vettel drove around the outside because it was made easy to do so. It wasn't a "ballsy" heroic move, sorry Vettel fans, but it wasn't. |

There was nothing ballsy and heroic at all about Vettel last Sunday.

Why would Vettel's engine be turned up and Webber's turned down ? Wouldn't both be turned down if they were to hold station. Also, Webber put up a brilliant defence. He was no sitting duck. Whatever the case, it was a stupendous dice by two drivers who took things to the limit and didn't step over.

Reading elsewhere, it seems that Webber's engine was turned down. Vettel's wasn't turned up, but it was at a higher power output than Webber's, that's fairly definite I believe. |

I admire your tenacity in pursuing Vettel's cause my friend. Like many others, you're failing to persuade me...... |

Don't worry Aysedasi, I wasn't trying to persuade you or anyone else. All of this is just a bit of fun... and I suppose it serves to expose the paradox of 'racing' in F1
