A huge slice of the $$ required for development comes from points earned in the Constructors title. They are a team in the sense that the best possible result for BOTH drivers leads to $$ for the future.

It's said that outside the car Seb is one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet (see my earlier post and quote). Many people come across as nice, and most of them really are...only a few turn out to be lunch-cutters, even less openly support such devious and deceitful behaviour. But by all means, keep on enjoying deceit if you thing it serves a purpose. True champions can also exhibit humility.

I doubt such an effort to stage a result in future will satisfy Webber. I strongly believe that he would not like to win like that after what's happened.

He most likely did, but we will probably never know, at least not until Mark's book is published
Problem is that by that stage Vettel was already within DRS range after RBR tried to switch their drivers around at the final stop, failing dismally.
Actually it was a bizarre decision to pit Vettel first. He ran his last stint on the mediums, whereas Mark took on hard tyres. Logic says that Mark should have pitted first because he was getting the more durable rubber. Plus, historically RBR have always pitted the lead driver first to avoid situations like this...
RED BULL.
