Seb lying is so pathetic - it's obvious what happened. He just straight up say it; "I wanted to win so I ignored the team".
But also Mark needs to stop crying so much and accept that he's a number 2 driver.

They under fueled both cars apparently and Rosberg also had the fuel problem according to Ross Brawn, the saving tyres isn't really about lack of money its because pitstops take 20 seconds and you cant afford time wise to keep pitting.

I know about the tires of course, but it still bothers me. At least they could have taken Pirellis suggestion to get an extra set for quali. Imagine how the race would be today in the dry.. at least 3 sets (probably 4) for quali (prime, option, option), then 5 sets for race with only two new primes left.. that would have been a mess.

Webber looks extremely annoyed and says "Multi 21, Seb"? I think?

Presumably he was instructed to go into some kind of car-saving mode and Vettel disobeyed the team and passed him.

The team turned his engine down, told him he had the win and Vettel wasnt going to challange, I think hes entirely justified to act like he is.

Can somebody give a recap of what has gone on? Australian coverage ended after the podium? What has been happening?

Red Bull team basically turned down Webber's car and told him and Vettel to cruise home to win.

Then Vettel says fuck it and overtakes.

The competitor in me sees no problem with it, but they turned down Webber's car and Vettel took advantage against team orders to overtake (almost caused an accident too). Hardly a fair race.

Massive, massive dick move.

On german TV they found out it means "2 stays ahead of 1", with the starting numbers of Vettel (1) and Webber (2) in mind.



That's not possible anymore, otherwise Vettel wouldn't have won. Systems to control car-systems from the pit were banned years ago, the driver has to make the change.
RBR let both drivers race until the last pitstop, then they should stay in position. Both were told to hold position, save tiers and engine. Webber adjusted his settings, Vettel ignored it and went for the win.
But "apologies" were pathetic. Why just don't say "I wanted that win so I went for it" instead of something like he first said on the podium with mistake and he did get the message but didn't ignore it (WTF?). Hamilton was straight forward and I give him credit for that. I'm sorry for Nico, he should have been there and Lewis acknoledged that. Great was also the words after the race between Lauda and Toto Wolf, Lauda clearly said is was wrong in the spirit of the sport and competition while Wolf tried to defend it as much as possible, while admitting that is was wrong.
And I guess Alonso is pretty happy that he isn't the focus of attention after the embarassing decision to not change the front wing. But he payed for that. And he can't say he was out and it was not his fault.
