[What's Burning?]

We all know what sort of goes undeleted on that thread, mate.

Yeah by Vettel fans.

You don't see me writing there, do you?

[Hammer278]

You're one of the very (very) few cool Vettel fans in this forum.

"It's actually a little bit of comedy to look back now and you were the driver who can't overtake," said Vettel during a media event at the Red Bull factory.

"Now after just two races people have changed their mind.

"To win from the front and to come through the field is the same. You still do your best, and people credit you have overtaken.

"You have come through the field, more than you pulling away and pulling lead of 8s or something. They don't maybe understand what it is worth to pull that gap.

"Last year we always started from a great position and, yeah, we didn't have to overtake, and then you get criticised for not overtaking." -link

Webber should be happy he's kept his job after almost costing Vettel the WDC Sunday.

That is the most ridiculous statement Ive heard on this Forum in a long time. And there is a lot of crap written on here, so thats saying something.

Vettel was a much bigger danger to himself than Webber was, just for not getting out of his way like a good little lapdog should.

Squeezing your WDC-contending team-mate in the first corner WHILE giving his Ferrari competitors miles of space to pass on the outside, and then later on almost running into the back of his team-mate in an ill-timed overtake attempt, is quite on the other spectrum from 'not getting out of the way'.

It's one thing to 'not get out of the way', but actually helping the other team, is kind of rich.

I seem to remember Webber taking to the "off-track" area at Turn 1 to avoid a calamitous moment with Seb and another car?

The potential calamitous moment was only there in the first place because he was outbraking Vettel on the outside.

So why did he let him pass without issue later then?

Horner probably got mad. It's one thing to want to fight your team-mate, it's another to nearly run into him in his championship race.

I mean, do you not agree that Webber squeezed him in T1, or at the very least, left space wide open for both Ferrari's on his other side?

[bud]

I think we would have heard Horners radio if he said anything. They are open channels for the feed. I think he was racing to the fullest, probably a bit over zealous in hindsight but his intentions were not to help Ferrari, more wanting to fight them to stay ahead but it didn't work out for him and he was a hinderence. But that's just racing not every move goes to plan especially in tricky conditions.

Thats why I have no malice towards Hülkenberg.

Webber really fell low in my eyes during the last race... Like mnmracer said, there are limits to everything.

[andrew]

Webber had so many fails in the last race.

[vlad]

Last race(s). Not Austin, but remember Abu Dhabi...
