RR you could see in the replays that ark could have literally pushed Vettel right off of the track and kept him behind but Mark obviously doesnt see himself as bigger than the team. Plus when Mark has turned his engine down its hardly surprising Vettel had the speed after he didnt bother listening to the team order and kept his on full power.
Alot of ex F1 stars are calling for Vettel to receive a 1 race ban(awarded by the team) to show him hes not bigger than the team. I think that would be a great idea.
I was actually gutted Alonso crashed out, which i never thought id say. After watching him lst season i have ALOT more respect for him than i did before, he deserved it last season and might be the best chance we have of seeing redbull knocked off the next title.

....I was gutted about Alonso crashing out too (I wish it had been either Raikonnen or Webber! :evilgrin:). I went through a couple of seasons of disliking Alonso but have changed my mind about him since he has been at Ferrari. I don't think that I will ever like Raikonnen though!
Reports I've read (from Christian Horner IIRC) state that both Red Bull cars were in the same state of engine mode. Webber isn't exactly as squeaky clean as he makes out - I'm referring the to last time these two had a set-to which ended with them both off. On this 2013 occasion, Webber nearly put Vettel into the pit exit wall.
I think we all need to put aside who are our favourite drivers are and realise that of course a driver puts himself ahead of the team - I think it's fundamentally in their psyche/character to win at all costs and especially in the heat of the moment. The teams and drivers need each other but it's rather like the fable of the frog giving the scorpion a lift across the river and the scorpion then stinging the frog after the river crossing - Why? - Because it's simply in the scorpion's nature. It's in the nature of a F1 racing driver to win and to beat every rival including and especially their team mate.

+1 I would much rather see alonso win the title than Vettel and id also like to see either Alonso or Hamilton in the same team as Vettel to put the little sh*t in his place, but we know redbull would never compromise vettels "talents" like that, it would be his 3rd and last world title. Hamilton had vettel in his back pocket in gp2, it would be no different now.

Alonso's/Ferrari stupid fault for not coming in and changing the nose...
As for Vettel, Mark had wound his engine back as requested by the team, hardly a fair battle, greedy little German Tw*T, he's not a team player and is out for himself, loved Marks comments on the podium... Blued eyed boy can do no wrong...
