I'm confused... I'm on vacation and missed the race. Why would anyone in 2nd place intentionally slow down and let the guy in front of him win? Why would a team order their drivers to slow down in the first place? Why couldn't Webber speed up when he realized Vettel wasn't slowing down?
Why would a team with a legit championship contender NOT want him to get maximum points?Redskins | San Antonio Basketball Team | Washington Baseball Team | Washington Hockey Team

All Mark had to do was flick up the engine mode and try maintain gap.
In the middle stint Webber was slow and backing Vettel into Hamilton.
Only thing was Vettel's pass was risky could have lost lot of constructor points but in the end Vettel knows every point counts this season and doesn't want close battle like last year with Alonso.
If situation was flipped around with Webber attacking nobody would cry foul.
Meanwhile what Mercedes did to Rosberg was garbage.

what really rustles jimmies is the shiity Pirelli tires
brb driving 10 seconds slower then pole lap
brb driving to delta time can't even push 80% of lap just cruising and saving tires
brb your car has too much downforce = penalty by shredding tires

Let's all be honest, Vettel is a little puff who is going to cry when the tables are turned. Mark has done everything the team has asked of him to help Vettel, so he's pretty much betrayed him and the team doing what he did. I've never wanted him to win but I really don't want to see it more than ever, I've had enough of the finger as it is.

NBC:
I had to watch the rebroadcast the following day, F*CK NBC for spoiling the damn race by showing who won in the info scroller at the bottom of the screen before the damn race even started. They did the same crap all last year with INDYCAR. But good job getting Varsha on board, I didn't like Diffey.
HAMILTON:
LOL, wrong pit, I bet the Mclaren crew were thinking "WTF mate???"
ALONSO:
WTF??? The Ferrari is quick this year, he had a chance for a win or solid podium, threw it away because he thought he could race a high speed, high downforce track with a broke front wing dragging the ground. Awesome fast driver, lacks common sense sometimes.
FERRARI:
Did you see how Massa passed Perez's Mclaren around the outside of turn 1 and Kimi down the straight like the Lotus was tied down? Sh*t, good engine, aero, and had the wings trimmed out at a usually wet Malasia. Brave.
PEREZ:
Again, he was outside the points and behind Button, if not for several other drivers having problems he still wouldn't have scored a point.
TIRES/FUEL:
We want to see RACING! Not the world's fastest drivers in the world's fastest cars preserving tires made of bubble gum because they are required to RACE on a set of basically QUALIFYING tires.
TEAM ORDERS:
**** team orders this early in the season. Fans want to see racing, let them race. That is all.I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid and lazy people, just that we should eliminate warning labels and welfare, let the problem take care of itself.
I do not support military action in Syria.

Just finished race......wtf vettel. This race just shows how much of a good guy Webber is. He stuck to the pre determined lap times even when he saw his team mate going against team orders.
Mercedes drivers showed how it is supposed to be done. Fight over the radio, not on the track.
And then in the end, in interview he says he didn't know he was supposed to maintain 2nd. He can't even own up to his actions....D-bagS&P OG.....

Horner has no control of Red Bull. Vettel is the boss now, he's running things, it's Vettel's way or the highway. Horner needs to get his balls back from Vettel.
Rosberg isn't getting the respect he deserves at Mercedes, he's clearly the #2 driver even though he gave them their 1st win last year, it's only the 2nd race of the season, and Hamilton is new to the team.
It is damned sad that the end of the races are watered down to parade laps because the tires are sh*t and team orders.I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid and lazy people, just that we should eliminate warning labels and welfare, let the problem take care of itself.

I never thought of that, Horner should take vettel out of China race, and run their 3rd driver or something, after all points are still important. It was sad in the SKY interview afterwards he was like both drivers took it into their own hands, never singling out vettel add any more responsible than webber.

I am not a fan of team orders however when you agree to something prior to the race it is important you stick to it. I wonder what would have happened if they made contact? would Vettel have had the balls to apologize to his team and everyone working at the factory? if he didn't want team orders he shouldn't have agreed to them to begin with.

No me too lol. I have a wee bet on at work about whether Paul Di Resta will get more points than Button in the first 6 races, I think that'll hold true but I think it'll be close. McLaren are in big trouble this year, but we'll see how they get on this weekend and then once the updates start to flow.

I think they took a good gamble though. If they had kept the 2012 car going they would have been far more competitive at the beginning of this season, but still look at the top...ferrari, rbr, and lotus are fast. thats 5 cars to compete with even if they had more speed. Who knows what the new chassis is capable of.
bruh.
