Not until after I'd posted mine. The address wouldn't cut and paste for some reason so it took me a while.

He tends to dump them soon after their first child so she'll be available in bit.

Last year I might have agreed with Flavio, that Vettel is a good driver, but not a really great one. He's clearly taken a step up this year. He's still young, and is clearly learning. I think it'll be a couple of years before Vettel reaches his peak.

He clearly had the speed. This year we've seen him gain a cooler head, and a more aggressive style on track when it is needed.

A one second buffer in qualifying is quite a bit of a headcooler. The Red Bulls reliability had improved in leaps and bounds over last year's car, and even hamstrung with a flaky KERS the car is clearly superior to any other car on the grid. Vettel's maturity and mistake free driving this year is what's sealing the deal for him, but in the sport the only thing that's factual is that this year Vettel is a better driver than Webber, as any direct comparison to other drivers on the grid are just opinions.

And thus the question. Is Webber being given a fair shot as well or treated as a clear #2. If it's a case of the latter then,oh well Flavio might have a point.

Ok, how do you believe Webber is being treated poorly? The only time I've seen the team screw him was when they pulled a wing off his car last year...which was a real BS move...but even then I think Webber wasn't nearly the victim he made out to be. He had said publicly that he didn't like the new front wing..only to cry like a baby when it was taken.

I'd like to hear how he has been treated other than equally to Vettel. So far, I have not seen anything resembling preferential treatment...but it's possible that I've simply missed it. So, educate me.

Well this Engine Mapping is one thing.Half way through last season Webber and Vettel were very close.RB introduces this very aggressive EM and voila Vettel is untouchable!
Are they mapping Webbers engine a tad less aggressively? Because I highly doubt Vettel became a half a second quicker,or Webber half a sec slower.

It has a lot to do with the new regulations. Webber just can't get to the point as fast as Vettel. That's all the wisdom.
But, tomorrow, I think Webber could be very, very good.
