And yes, going 3 wide into turn 1 was baffling. I assure you he would have received death threats if that went horribly wrong

Unfortunately that's webber. He race for his own.
And its a high risk place to him to do that. Remember Silverstone last year? "Mark maintain your position"

Same could be said with Jenson and Hamilton... Hamilton could have been 3rd overall if Jenson wasn't messing with him and fighting for the podium. But... that's racing... Kimi Got the 3rd spot and Hamilton is 4th again.

To quote Gary Anderson: "Alonso did have some bad luck in crashing out in Japan and Belgium when it was not his fault. But Vettel had two alternator failures in races. OK, they are things the team have influence over but he still lost as many races as Alonso. Equally, Red Bull allow their drivers to race early in the season, whereas Ferrari have a defined number one. If you take Red Bull and give Vettel their big points from every race, Vettel thrashes Alonso comprehensively." Alonso lost the title long before Brazil. Vettel won out of sheer determination. |

![]() Now think back, Ferrari and Alonso were playing the points game after they stop winning since German GP. They just simply not pushing hard enough for another win. Either they simply didn't have the team and equipment to win, or they made similar mistake back in 2010. Hoping Webber and McLaren taking points off from Vettel. Vettel's mind was simple, win all the races for rest of the season and he will win the championship. Determined driver and the team with the best equipment in hand. RBR never settle for points until the last 10 laps.

WEB can leave RBR and i wouldnt miss him. He's driving a chassis of our lord Newey and should've helped VET period. Put RAI over at RBR I've always said, the both are young, world champs, friends on and off the track, it'd be killer.

What a race. Lots of good luck/bad luck for everyone. The drive thru for Hulkenberg was ridiculous, but otherwise a great race.
Kudos to Vettel. He's damn good and will no doubt win more championships.

Maybe at the beginning of the season, But it would be foolish to think they had the same car near the end of the season. No 2 engines are exactly alike, just as most parts can vary slightly. There will always be a 1 and 2. The 2 is still great in the case of RBR, but not the same.
And there is absolutely money in winning the driver championship. It's just not from the FIA, it's from all the sponsorship deals and promos you get. Not quite as cut and dry maybe, but definitely there is money to be made from it. Quote:
Webber is not a designated number 2. I don't understand why you would expect him to behave as such. He has no obligation to Vettel other than what the team may ask of him. It's ridiculous to think he would make it all the way into F1, race for years, and then just roll over and slave away for his teammate.

I think among the grid, only Massa is willing to become a clear #2.

i seriously loled at the thought of Kimi being Vettels #2, no f-ing way, he's an alpha. The only Beta in the pits is Massa, as e90slam said

In 2008, the team was surrounding him just because he happens to be in the championship winning position. But I can hardly see him building the team around him. I just can't really see him as a natural leader like Alonso did. Nonetheless, he is a decent driver.

Then there's the marshal showing green flag which contradicts the LED yellow light.
Track marshal waved yellow when the first few passed then switch to green.

Doesn't matter about SV's dash. "If there is any discrepancy between a driver's dashboard and the trackside indicators, the flags and lights take precedence - the display is meant solely as a further driver aid." He'd never pull a bozo move like the one they're insinuating and was well aware of his surroundings. Alonso can stop waiting for miracles |
