That sentence is so British I don't even know what to do. You confused my 'Murican brain.
one hell of a big pen.
Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
I don't think I'm really too bothered by the breaking of team orders, what bothers me more is that Webber obeying team orders would've let his guard down against Vettel and wouldn't have been expecting what Vettel did and Vettel took advantage of that. When Vettel went for it they weren't racing on the terms they should have been.
The less intelligent observers say anyone could do it in that car.

Someone that would not have figured out after 8 more corners that the fight was one, would be such a big idiot he couldn't even drive a Formula One car. The overtake happened 13 corners after any sane Formula One driver would have known the fight was on.

I think Webber did realise, he put up a fight too, but when he realised how stupid and risky it was he backed off, rather sensibly I feel.

Again, that's not what stonemonkey said.
But I'm glad you agree with me that 'he did realize'.
Red Bull boss Helmut Marko says the row between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel is now "settled".
Marko said the two shook hands after a post-race discussion of Vettel's decision to ignore team orders and pass Webber to win the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Marko added that Vettel had been "distressed" by the situation, adding: "I don't think he will do that again.
"They don't have to be completely on the same page but it must be a solid working partnership," Marko said.
"Sebastian apologised in the press conference, and that's the first correct step to take.
"In the debrief afterwards there was the relevant discussions about the race and then there was a handshake between the two drivers.
"For us, now, the issue is settled."
Marko, who is the right-hand man of Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz and a champion of Vettel within the team, said he believed the triple world champion had learned an important lesson.
"He doesn't have to change as a whole," Marko said, "but I think Sebastian was distressed, he was surprised by his radical way of tackling it and I don't think he will do that again."
And he insisted the team had been helpless to intervene during the race to stop Vettel disobeying the order to stay behind Webber.
"We told Sebastian to hold his position because we didn't know what the tyre situation was and both drivers need to bring home a good finish for the team," Marko said.
"But then came the attack against that strategy and it got out of control. You couldn't control it over radio or anything like that. Sebastian the racer came out and took the lead."
