Classic autopilot stuff....

Aye, they probably will. But if they don't punish him (and a race suspension is the only way to do that, he aint going to miss a few quid is he :lol ), then they're sending a poor signal as to who has control in the team. Makes it more likely they'll lose Webber whether they like it or not?

They'd be shooting themselves in foot if they suspended him. He'll probably get a stern talking to and they'll make him watch a half hour powerpoint presentation on teamwork :lol

with the hamelton issue rossa was asked to stay behind because the team were worried about fuel in BOTH cars. they also knew if the let him past hammy would want to keep up to show he could and would end up both running out of fuel.
huge mistake on the teams part but the orders were for a good solid reason.


With vettel it wasnt as clear cut, though there were tyre worrys and not wanting to stress the car more than needed with such a window to 3rd/4th i would have prefered to let them both race. (and take them both out as i think vettel is a spoilt prick anyway)
but the team made a choice for reasons we dont know and as said above by others its his JOB to drive FOR the team. a cash punishment is pointless and a race ban will never happen (though i would like to see it) so if it were my team i would make sure he is punished in some other way.

It said in paper that Webber turned his engine down to look after it. They'd already raced each other earlier and Vettel probably just couldn't accept that he'd lost. Nothing will happen to Vettel, Webber might leave though.

But he hadn't lost, they'd only done 3/4 of the race  :look

Imo team orders should be banned again, but then F1 is pretty boring now so I tend to watch the Aussie V8s and Utes.

You're right but if the team has let them race for position and then said, "pack it in now lads, we want both cars home today" and Vettel is behind then he has lost.

I think it'll makes for interesting times at redbull.

Well this is kind of topical
