I'm open but at the moment, it could be seen that a massive excuse is just being made...

As for Webber, it would now have to be acknowledged that the gap between him and Vettel was not the truth, since Webber certainly didn't have the love of Horner and co.

Hopefully Vettel will share his feelings of 2014 at some point in the future and we'll see what to make of it.
RB have 'shiny object syndrome'. Most of the team members are utter mercenaries. I've been working with TJ13 now for two years and our chief editor cornered one of our RB contacts about why it seems that the team does prefer RIC this year. The answer was simple: "Ric delivers the points and hence the bonus payments for us, so he's who our loyalty lies with." They are completely indifferent to Vettel as of this year. He's merely there because they are obliged to run two cars.
I have to admit, I was one of the guys who thought Mark was just past it, but having seen how a bloody four-times WDC is basically thrown under the bus, I get a new understanding for what he must have gone through. Mind you, I don't quite understand why he took that shit for four years. He'd have been better off at any other team. RB in my opinion is a pure one car team.
