    I don't recall Webber even complaining that his Red Bull pay checks were late, so maybe staying away from Lotus was not a bad move.

    You could be right. After the loss of Kubica Lotus was missing a driver with who to go forward in 2012. But I guess during 2011 I would have made the same decision as Webber, because Lotus was struggling with car development that year and didn't seem like a strong proposition.
