Ferrari will shaft Massa for any additional point they can gain for Fernando and this year's Ferrari is much more competetive than last year's edition, so RB can't afford to give Mark any freebie points, because I'd be willing to bet a sizeable amount of money that in the end it will be Vettel again with the bigger points haul. In fact I would, if the odds weren't that rotten for a 4th title...как могу я знать что я думаю, пока не слушал что я говорю

I find the idea that Webber dominanted the race quite absurd. When he came out of pits, Vettel was immediately behind him. It this point a position change was pretty much certain as Webber was at a disadvantage with colder tires.
I also find the idea that team orders should not be given early in the year also absurd. The team orders should not be given early in the year only when the both drivers still have a shot at winning the championship. Does anyone still believe that Webber is a championship material? If the team wanted to be please the fans, there should have been no orders at all. If the team wanted maximize the chance to win the WDC, Mark should have been given the order to let Vettel through. But the order that the team actually gave was bizzare. Can you imagine Ferrari giving order to Schumacher to say behind Barrichello early in season. This is simply absurd. Horner will have some explaining to do to his bosses. I honestly think this may be the last year we're seeing Webber at RBR.

I very much agreed with everything in this article about Vettel. I don't agree with the Mercedes bit as Hamilton wants to win by himself but the rest I agree with.

I think the GP has a whole drove of Donkeys:
Alonso for risking the whole race waiting a couple of laps to pit and change the front wing, although as he said it is easier to make a decision after the events.
Force India for the wheel nuts fiasco.
Hamilton for going back "home"
Red Bull for their excellent team spirit and anger management program
Mercedes for not trusting themselves and not wanting to risk two places in the top 5.There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

Some dislike Lewis because he raced for McLaren and made some stupid mistakes in his early career. Some don't like Kimi because he's not very talkative etc etc. Nothing to do with Nationality.
