True, I guess Webber was unsuccessful in that attempt.

PS I don't think its just Aussie fans that think Vettel is a dick.

Was he in contention for winning a race in 2011?

Was he ever within a shot of a wdc potentially?

I'm not the biggest Vettel fan (at all), but don't we all agree team orders are shit house?

Therefore, shouldn't we be pleased Vettel did what he did and went for the race win at all costs? Isn't that what we want to see every F1 race weekend? I know I do

I just wish Nico did it to Lewis too. Looked like it would have been an easy pass into 3rd and who knows how close he would have got to the Bulls before the end?.....

Indeed, he should have done the same again and fought for position.
Team orders are ridiculous.

I don't disagree with this, however, he did it whilst Webber's engine was turned down and he was driving to conserve the engine/fuel/tyres, so he had no real way of defending against it, wasn't really a fair racing move as such. Bad sportsmanship.

Agreed. Hopefully they all stop playing fair from now on and go for it regardless of what they're told from the pit wall Then the teams will have to fuel them for the full race at full pace and we'll start getting engines blowing up like in the good old days

If i was Webber i would politely suggest to vettel that if he tries it on again i would punt him so hard into the wall hungry helen will need to be renamed all fucked up helen.

Politely suggest that he would no doubt cop a life ban but at this stage of his career not a single fuck is given.
