Sore winner .
Webber could have fastened himself to his team solidly , having just won the race , but he decided to slag them once again .
He just signed the contract , and could have easily set the stage for himself now being in the defacto number one seat , given the logic presented for the wing change before the race .
He could have said the it was too bad that Seb had that puncture , because he would have enjoyed the fight .
Instead , he poisoned an already shakey atmosphere .
Stupid move , as he had already won , and set to be number one .
Now he's burnt the team and said he shouldn't have signed .
And , maybe now it's mutual .

Mark, you said there would be some discussions with the team; does that mean you will be demanding that should this situation arise again, you don't get cast in the position where you're the number two?
MW: Yup.

We don't see, what exactly is going inside the team, but Webber must have known the team all along (situation don't arise suddenly out of nothing - maybe for an outsider they do, but not for an insider) and he must like something about the team that he decided to extend the deal. Probably likes the fact that they have got a car, in which he can win a fair few races during a season. It's fun to hear Mark being outspoken in his own natural fashion, but I think he personally enjoys blowing the situation a bit out of proportion at the moment as well.

Well done Mark. You defeated that pathetic slime Marko and his fake PR star.

and yet another example of RBR throwing away big points finishes- they've had the fastest car at more or less every race this year and they've contrived to throw away good results- either through mechanical issues or driver cock up's- Martin Whitmarsh must find this hysterically funny at the moment
there's nothing like having squabbling team mates and intra-team civil war to make it more interesting- think Senna-Prost, Mansell-Piquet, Jones- Reutiman or Hamilton- Alonso
I'm pretty neutral on who I'd like to see win- but cheered loudly when Vettel went off at Becketts
great result for Williams again- not great by previous high standards, but good to see them solidly in the points again
