It would've been at this stage that horner would've said something like this "ok seb, webber has got a 5 second gap on ya, well get both of ya to turn down your engines and cruise it home like this, come in for new tyres next lap, mark you the lap after".

So Seb pits with webber more than five seconds up the road and gets the softs on. so seb is now a pitstop and 5 seconds behind webber.

Webber then pits the next lap (lap 43) for a set of mediums. the pit stop goes well (about same time as Sebs stop). As webber is rejoining the race after his pit stop he catches sight of Seb about 1-2 seconds before turn 1 on lap 44. he defends valiantly as a mad man (seb) is making all kinds of rash overtaking manouvers on corners that don't usually see much over taking. after nearly half a lap webbers back off to preserve his car's position in the race and seb overtakes him.

It is clear to me that seb didn't like the team orders and seen the red mist, he would've been racing like a madman on cold tyres (he was on his outlap, this would've been extremely foolish) to make up OVER 5 SECONDS in 1 lap on webber. for this to happen webber would've had to have already been told to turn down his engine as the race was his.

webber would've never seen him coming and wouldn't have known that vettel was attacking him until seb actually did on turn 1 of lap 44. before then the last time webber seen seb in his mirrors was on lap 42, more than five seconds back down the road.

It is fairly easy to see how much Seb was in the wrong once you analyze in detail how the events unfolded, instead of guessing that "webber would've seen seb coming" and therefore it is all mark's fault. for me seb's faults in the race where:
Telling RBR control to "get mark out of the way he's too slow" when they where clearly on different strategies.
Ignoring team orders
Doing a lightning fast outlap on cold tyres after his last pitstop (this is a biggy for me).
Attacking his team mate in a dangerous manner on corners that don't usually see overtaking (at stages either of their cars where in the marbles)

THISSSSS

I am amazed so many people can't see it! AND to add to it, Seb should never have been pitted before Webber. Mark was ahead on track and as such should have been pitted first. The only reason that Seb pitted first was to cover off Hamilton who pitted the lap before. Had they pitted Mark first, as was his right, then Hamilton would have got ahead and Seb would be battling to get past Hamilton to get second place back. Mark would have been 7-9 seconds ahead at that stage. Game over.

Why did Seb win?

He received an unfair pit advantage over Webber.... and then, when asked to switch off, he said nothing and pounced on Webber who was in economy mode. Did Webber switch on again? Apparently not. He did not have the fuel available to 'race' home or go hard against Seb. He was mugged. Pure and simple.

Silverstone '11 the team advised Webber that it was Seb's race and his immediate response was to tell them to bugger themselves, he was going for it. Had Seb said the same thing to the team in this scenario and taken the second pit stop, he would need to have passed Hamilton then found Webber some seconds up the road for the win. If he did that, then kudos to him. The man. The racer. What he did was say nothing and then pounce on a team-made who had been advised to save fuel and tyres, bring the car home.

And after all this Seb now says "Mark didn't deserve it." Well bugger me! You arrogant twat.
