Greeners:
Webber has on more than one occasion been on the receiving end of team orders where the little sh*t has benefitted. The fact he ignored the teams request for him to do the same for his 'Team' mate (emphasis on the word team!) just speaks volumes to me. I have mentioned in this very thread on numerous occasions that although likeable there is something about him that doesn't sit well with me.
True colours being shown IMO. :fighting:
EDIT: I see Hedge is singing of the same hymn sheet as me! :wink:
MAT ED30:
What hedge said he was told to wind the engine tune back to save fuel and other stresses but vettal was not playing ball

What was fair about it Robin?
Webber obeys the team order to wind things back and the greedy German steals the win via some reckless overtaking. If that's fair in your book I think it needs a reprint. :fighting:

....Regardless of team orders Webber fought back on track but didn't succeed. What has the fact that Vettel is German got to do with it?
I think the rule book does need rewriting and doing away with team orders.
This is a sport with very substantial sums of money and commercial success at stake - It's not a sport for 'gentlemen' and this has been demonstrated for as long as the sport has been in existence.
IMO, Vettel's "true colours" are nothing to be ashamed of - To win you need to be ruthless.
In every single race there is always a driver who might 'deserve' to win but for one reason or another, he doesn't. It's not about who deserves to win or even who you happen to be a fan of.

This is an interesting read on the subject of Vettel's behaviour...........

Hedge:
Did you watch the same race as the rest of us Robin? :confused:
Vettel is German Robin or hadn't you noticed?
I hope because he thinks he is better than the team that he gets his knuckles rapped. If not it will be as Webber said and Red Bull are protecting him. :fighting:
