Yeah that was 2008. The one the FIA tried to steal off him.

Button won 2009 - that was a gift to a useless fuck in the best car.

Can't see how it would be a hollow victory for Vettel to let Webber through as it would simply be equalising the 7 points Fernando did not deserve in the German GP.

There will not be "Team Orders" as such but Vettel will be quite aware of who needs to be where for Red Bull to take the drivers championship. They pay him a lot of money to deliver both championship if he cannot win it himself but Webber can he will make the appropriate decision.

You know what RB should do on the last lap (assuming Vettel is leading, Webber 2nd & Alonso 3rd)?

Rocky gets on the radio and in a pommie voice says - "OK...Mark is faster than you!"

"Can you confirm you have understood this message?"

"Good lad - just stick with it now, sorry".

How good would that be?

Sure, but two wrongs don't make a right. Just because Alonso 'did not deserve' those points it makes it alright for Webber to? F1 has always been a teamsport anyway, which is why I didn't see the deal when Massa let Alonso through. In the end it turned out to be the right call (case in point: the championship points), especially when one of the drivers was consistently faster then the other, had more engines, etc.

Anyway this is all what ifs and speculation, Webber should still have the fastest car, with the freshest engine, and should be able to win this championship on his own merit.

For sure, that would be good. That is until RBR gets both their world championships taken away from them for using "team orders". I guess there is the precedence set by Ferrari that you can "cheat" the system for $100000.

As i see it at this stage of the game my answer would be that it's justified!

Won't happen, and if it did there would be uproar that Ferrari got prefferential treatment from one of it's old mates (Jean Todt)!

To me it would be $100k well spent by RBR!

^ If they were to 'cheat' and tell Webber to overtake Vettel, they would pre-arrange a way to do it. Something not obvious, such as Vettel having a wheel accidentally not put on properly (drop the gun?) in his pit change and 'wasting' precious seconds when they try to get it on right, with Webber just happening to overtake in the process...

Can't see that happening either! The Fuhrer (matisitch) want's the supreme race ( Ze Germans) to win so while there is still hope it will be left to the very last lap!

Edit: I know that comparing Red Bull to Nazi Germany is not on, but i do feel like that is the way they have treated Webber this year, so if you take offence i am sorry!
