    Vettel is a *, disobeying team orders to maintain position. I have no time for Hamilton but at least he acknowledged Rosberg should have beat him, Vettel is ruining F1 just like Schumacher did by making it boring. I hope Raikkonen or someone else wins this year.

    Another good race, with plenty of talking points.....although rather ominous that Vettel is clear already.
    I dont think Webber is doing enough to get his point across.He should have started a scuffle at least.Or maybe even have taken him off........
    I remember Coulthard giving Hakkinnen his first victory by moving aside in Australia......worst thing he ever did.Nice guys are cannon fodder for the Schumachers of this world.Coulthard had all the honour of doing the right thing......but Hakka got 2 world titles subsequently.

    Its a * race. They should go at each other!

    The main reason I find F1 boring is the teams telling drivers to either let people past or not to overtake. Where is the fun in that?!

    Well done Vettel. You made it exciting for fans.

    He's making it boring? Why, because he's too good? :smiley-laughing002:

    I'd rather he didn't let people get more points than him. THAT makes races boring.

    I loved seeing the battle between Vettel and Webber today. Teammates should go at each other more, since its so often that they are just a place apart.

    I agree...to a point.That point being that Webber claimed that he wasnt going full out, as the team had an agreement that whoever was leading after the final pitstop, would have an uncontested lead therein......so he wasnt going full speed, as he didnt realise that little * would go behind his back and try and overtake him when he was told not to!
    It was the same with Rosberg and Hamilton.You heard Rosberg moaning...but when you heard Ross Brawn then telling him Hamilton had eased off under orders, and that was the only reason he was being held up....it made a lot more sense.

    But, Im certain Webber was trying his utmost to stop Vettel from overtaking. That is the best part of F1 for me.

    Also I think it would be a better sport if the drivers tried 100%, all of the time.

    Alot of respect for Sebastian Vettel. But it was wrong what he did yesterday. Good to see Niko Rosberg doing well. Shame for Di Resta yesterday.

    Fair play to Vettel.

    Webber is an Australian. Therefore, he is a *.

    fair play to vettel? :97:

    the amount of times webber has had to hold his position to help vettel win races and all 3 of his championships. vettel only cares about him self not the team, he is a bad loser and worse winner. i honestly believe vettel is an average driver, everyone in the same car and he would be a mid table driver.

    i hope webber quits and joins another team or series where he can actually enjoy himself.

    totally agree

    i would love to see a hamilton / alonso / kimi / jenson drive that red bull only then will i be convinced of vettels skill.

    theres only been a few times ive seen him do well going through the field. most of the time he just wins from the front in a car thats far superior to the rest.

    I have to disagree with you both.As much as Vettel is proving to be heir apparent to Schumacher in the integrity department.....he is still very very good.
    Webber really showed his worth by out performing Coulthard.....and lets be honest, although he has played for the team a few times, Vettel out qualifies him week in week out!He is the better driver (imo).
    In my own opinion, Alonso is the best out there, but needs to go to charm school and get a decent car.Hamilton, Kimi, and Vettel are all very good though.
    I think we are in a good era for drivers.

    Vettel took it too far on Sunday. Up till now I've quite liked him but I hope he doesn't win the Championship this year. I would actually really enjoy it if Mark Webber went on and won it now but I doubt that will happen.

    Vettel is being Spoiled at red Bull,they're treating him with Kiddie gloves for fear of upsetting him.He's that * Eccelstone's favorite driver too.Definitley better drivers on the grid.Alonso,Hamilton,Raikonnen,Button and probably Rosberg.

    When he came out with 'Get him out of the way,he's too slow' when Webber was actually lapping faster,sums the guy up.Really hope his car loses pace this season,it's obvious he gets priority over Webber in upgrades.

    anyone hear his press conference today?

    the whole time he had a smug smile oh his face while spouting complete crap like "I didn't understand the message" "webber doesn't help the team" and asked if he should be punish by the team he was like "why, how should I be punish, you tell me, go on tell me how".

    honestly cant stand him

    Hes telling the truth, Webber never helps him, in fact in Brazil last year he pushed him so far to the corner he had to brake and then got clipped..
