I wonder how much worse this would have been, if it had shifted to a Turkey 2010 issue...
If Vettle took out Webber and himself whilst disobeying team orders, I have a sneaking suspision he wouldn't be racing for Red Bull too much longer, and the Doctor would be well and truly gone.
I'd make a good team principle.
Whilst that's probably what should happen, what you would actually find is that Webber would probably end up being blamed for it anyway, Marko would go on some big rant about how rubbish he is and Horner would give Vettel a hug.
How much power does the pitwall have over the car, electronicaly speaking?
I was under the impression that, if they chose to, someone in the pit garage could turn down the engine.
Nope. They are only allowed to receive telemetry, they can't send any commands back to the cars.

I this a recent rule change or have they never been able to do this?
There is an assumption being made that Nico would automatically pass Lewis. If they were they would be allowed to fight for position, Lewis wouldn't let him by, he'd make it as difficult to pass as possible. So you're in your sponsor's home country and are on the cusp of the best result the team has had in a year, best team result ever, I can see why they'd want to not jeopardize that. Have one of the cars maybe both of them run out of gas or worse.
As a fan, I would have liked to have seen that firs tussle between Lewis and Nico, I would have also liked to have seen Red Bull let Webber fight for his lead.
But fans don't directly pay for the team's budget we just indirectly pay for their share of the profits.

Well, it is an assumption at this point because we can't see the outcome, but nico was on his bottom hard.
One drs straight, and it would have been over with.
Surprisingly Vettel has revealed him and Webber have made up, 'After I apologised to him he suggested we go for a drink at the next race saying he was going to take me out first chance he gets in China.'

Yeah I think Vettel doesn't get Aussie sarcasm very much. Better take a couple of heavies with him when joining Mark for a 'drink'.
Webber's already ignored team orders in the past (as pointed out by mnmracer in the Vettel thread). Next time Vettel should just punt Webber off and really give him something to complain about.
Joke or was it.........?

Then Webber would punt Vettel in the face post race... I'd happily pay to see that, not that I am advocating violence... ok, maybe a little!
