I've just realized, you'd not been having this conversation were it any driver other than Vettel.
He can't buy it as it is a private limited establishment.
And anyway, I don't think HRT depend on your judgement to say if they can make it or not. It's not easy to run an F1 team FYI, and they are trying their very best out there.
Just because some spoiled brat front runner passes and squeezes a slower car till there's contact doesn't mean the backmarker team has to fold. You say HRT is not getting any support in this instance, which is bullsh*t. Di Resta, Hulkenburg are a couple of drivers showing support, and so are the F1 pundits.
Go to any site and read the comments, you'll see where the support lies.
How about buying enough shares of the team anonymously to control it? Anyway, it was just a poke-fun comment...relax
Those drivers are from a team racing under Indian license, you think they can just sit there not say anything? Of course they have to say what the crowd wants to hear especially their marketing team is based in India. Same goes for the commentators, they have a large audience and they have to give their opinion based on the audience's acceptance. So far only Di Resta and the Hulk - Force India came out.
Most of the comments online are from people that are ready to pounce if there is anything they can blame on Vettel, just because they think he is a "spoiled brat". That same "spoiled brat" won the 2008 Italian GP with a less superior car compared to mclarens/ferraris. Who came to the scene as a rookie and get the top car in the paddock in 2007? hmmmm spoiled brat...let's agree to not go there in this thread.
Let's just step back, and imagine it was not Vettel, let's say Kimi? MSC? Fernando?or...Lewis Hamilton (had pole, and ended up 4th, and at the end got taken out by a lapped car)? There is an element of bias for Vettel before they even make a comment, they just need something to spark the anti-Vettel-ness. I predict something really different will happen to the comments if it was Lewis not Vettel in this case.
Of course, I am not to judge if HRT can make it or not, when did I say that?....but i sure can make my opinion, and so can you. Thank you for your feedback though.
It is great that they are getting verbal support (HRT), but where is the support in terms of sponsorship to make them go forward? Do you really think this incident will have people sympathize with HRT and give them loads of money for them to develop their cars? Well, I am not so sure.
Vettel waving the finger is still pretty mild compared with Alonso's tiny fists of fury which have made numerous appearances over the years and Piquet Snr's kung-fu moves.

What a load of
Firstly HRT are a Spanish team with a Spanish license
Narain Karthikeyan has a FIA super license the same as the rest of the drivers
all the commentators I've heard blaming Sebastian have all been European not Indians, commentators generally say what they see not what the audience want to hear.
Poor Sebastian having to join BMW Sauber as his first team (Were they backmarkers ? I seem to remember Robert Kubica being on the podium that season )
then a Torro Rosso which was a better car than the Red Bull.
Back in the good old days there were no blue flags real racing drivers could overtake much slower cars without crashing into them
if Sebastian had stayed 1 meter more over to the Right, instead of pulling Left to the edge of the track how much more time would he have lost ?
(not as much as a pitstop I guess)
I'm just glad to see the baby showing his true colors
Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
As for Vettel’s description of Karthikeyan as a “gherkin”, Stuck insisted: “It’s better than ‘asshole’.”

The vegetable changes depending on what site you read the story on, Forumula1.com is reporting it as a cucumber...
