Does anyone else remember Mark trying to get past Seb a couple of years ago when being told not to? Only not being able to.
I'd actually respect Vettel if he said "so what, that's why I'm a champion". He's ruthless and clearly doesn't care how he wins just so long as he does. Honestly I don't have much of a problem with that: it's not a gentlemens' club, it's a fiercely competitive sport. What I do have a problem with, however, is Red Bull's (and Horner's in particular) failure to deal with their drivers. Horner didn't seem remotely bothered after the race, he knows that any attempt to chastise Sebastian is futile.
They've created a rod for their own back by telling Mark he's joint #1 when he clearly isn't seen that way. Either they should have hired a subservient #2 who knows where he stands, or let their two drivers slug it out on the track. If and when one of them is fighting for a championship then of course use team tactics, but in only the second race of the year we were denied a proper race. I'd love to have seen Mark try to re-pass Vettel, with all the risks that entails.

What a team player Seb is. In an effort to spur Mark on - we all know Webber performs better when he feels wrong done by - Vettel generously sacrificed his good reputation just to help give Mark the psychological edge he craves.
Top bloke for someone so young *nods*
Mark backed off there, he didn't actually go for the move.Quote:

I didn't think it was possible. But they have!!
Both RB and Mercedes were asking for trouble. Team orders in just the second race is just silly.
Marko didn't have anything to do with it. In fact he was quite po'ed about Vettel, which must be a first.Quote:
