I'd make a good team principle.

What's Burning? wrote: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.Well, it is an assumption at this point because we can't see the outcome, but nico was on his bottom hard.
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.
killem2 wrote:Did you watch Nico get past Lewis TWICE....and Lewis got him back both times, so they did go side by side a couple of times, and THEN the call came in to stop them from jeopardizing the result. It's not like Nico didn't get any shot at it.What's Burning? wrote:There is an assumption being made that Nico would automatically pass Lewis.

One drs straight, and it would have been over with.

Hammer278 wrote: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'.In a bar room fight; my money would be on Mark... I just hope that the next time Mark is hustling Sebastian, Mark ignores team orders and goes for it, then we'll see if Horner still says "There was no point giving the place back". Mark has been denied a win via team orders before; he towed the line, I bet he'll feel differently next time!

Next time Vettel should just punt Webber off and really give him something to complain about.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!
Joke or was it.........?
