Webber pits as he was making ground on Vettel, WTF?

Tyres dude

[Jim05]

Red Bull has just majorly cocked up Vettels pit stop. Alonso should stroll to victory now

[Q.]

What happened with Button? I missed it.

[Jim05]

Hillarious, Button exited pits missing a wheel nut and only got a few hundred metres up the road before pulling over and ending his race

"Mark, you need to maintain the gap"

Get ****** you ******* ****.


Great finish to the race though.

[Jim05]

Alonso wins, vettel 2nd, webber 3rd.
Good to see Ricciardo finish.
Vettels tyres went on last lap and webber was on his tail but Red Bull ordered him not to overtake.

Exactly what I thought. I would have told him to **** off.

[Jim05]

Yeah i would have told them all to **** off, he was going over a second a lap slower ffs

Webbers face says if all sitting in the press conference... but the good guys ended up winning...

[Grahaml]

I was actually surprised by the orders. Red Bull up to that point had embraced the idea of their guys being given the green light to race at all times.

Also amazed at Hamilton not being penalised for running into Massa. Looked to me like Massa was clearly ahead and it's then Hamilton's responsibility to avoid Massa. Very similar to Schumacher's incident earlier on that earned him a stop/go penalty. If Schumacher's was a penalty Hamilton's had to be too IMHO. Or it could just be that I don't like Hamilton. Lol.

[tigerpie]

like you graham i'm shocked hamilton didnt get penalised...clearly he just pranged into him deliberately..unlike shumacher who,on a wet track,overshot his breaking marker...accidently!!!! crazy decision to make him do a stop/go.

on the other matter,why does webber have to stay in formation when he is 1 second a lap faster and vettel is 10 races ahead of anybody in the championship?...another crazy decision imo.

[Grahaml]

Apparently Webber ignored the team orders and was going for it at the end. Brave but silly move by Webber I fear. He's not inked a deal for next season and passing Vettel was always going to be tough. Probably would have been better off following team orders then firing up at the press conference. A simple comment like "I'll follow team orders if they're given but I didn't think Red Bull were about that" would resonate all the way to the top. Especially if he points out that while Vettel was behind last season he was free to race and ended up pinching the championship! If Webber loses by a couple of points and gets asked to move aside Red Bull will look very silly.

what if vettel had a nasty crash or got sick or something and couldnt race for the remainder of the season.webber misses out on the championship to alonso because of a couple of points....red bull red faced i would say.

Hmmmm...Crystal ball...

Vettel....Nurburgring...Qualy...big shunt....broken legs...

Not that I would wish that

[Jim05]

Webber on pole.
Hamilton 2nd
Vettel 3rd, first time for season he is not on front row.
So surely the team orders must prevent Vettel overtaking his quicker team mate

[mickey]

After 2 drivers getting grid penalties, Ricciardo starts in 22nd

[Jim05]

Disappointing race for Webber again, big chance with Vettel struggling in 5th and he still wont win.

[Jim05]

Webber still has 1 compulsory pit left. Pits from lead with 3 laps left, will drop to 3rd.
The top 3 are miles ahead of Massa and Vettel.

[Jim05]

Hamilton wins, Alonso 2nd and Webber 3rd.
Vettel back in 4th
Poor race again for Webber, started on pole and with Vettel struggling he could still only manage 3rd, lost a big chance for a victory today.
Ricciardo finished 19th
