Vettel = Mr Nice Guy?

yeah Vettel took pole and gave the inside advantage to webber.....what are freinds for....

Lewis did not make any contact with Vettel.

He caused his own puncture by driving aggressively over the kerb and then again as a result of the puncture.

Um, Lewis did make contact and it shows from his onboard (It was on Speedtv's the speed report last night)

Lewis nor Vettel mentioned it in their immediate post race interviews.

I guess its possible they touched if Vettel went too close to Lewis in his flustered state.

Haven't seen anything reported on Autosport - I reserve my judgement until Thurs.

I'm not sure what Seb is getting at here. By "people" and "their true faces" is he referring to his team-mate? What lesson did he learn at Silverstone?

He's got an experienced fast teammate who is capable of winning races and has brought the unfair treatment into the media spot light. Everyone is watching this relationship unfold and it'll be difficult for the team to call strategy in favour of Vettel from now on without direct questioning IMO.

I know I condemned Webber in Valencia and backed him over this latest incident, but I still prayed for his engine to fail at Silverstone.. :p

I like Webber but do I want him to win the WDC? No.

Typical Pom. :rolleyes:

Finishing first is not winning.

I adore Jense to bits as do all his real fans - but if winning depends on mechanical issues occuring to the driver ahead then it is no different to team orders and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

At the same time no matter who the driver is, if they drove like Webber or as Hamilton did in 2008 at Silverstone - surely a drive his hero Senna would have been prioud of, I want THEM to win.

I adhere to the Williams way - winning is important and of course one will take the first place when available - but it is not the ONLY thing. How one wins is always important :vader:

For those who may not be aware, POM is used here in Oz as a term of endearment. :p :

Actually intention is quite clearly implied, but also very clearly ment as a joke. Its a very English sort of humour, something Vettell has caught onto quickly.
