Beyond that, how is a 2 3 better than a 3 2 from a team point of view. It's utter bollocks and utterly hypocritical from Red Bull who have criticised others in the past for using team orders. This was all about Vettel's ego - he lost on track today to two faster drivers, in my view.

They could just have easily said to Vettel that Webber was quicker so let him past - same result for the team, would have done more to help Webber in the drivers championship as he actually needs the points. But that would have upset the boy wonder so couldn't be allowed to happen.

Alonso would have won despite the red bull screw up,clearly the fastest man out there today...
So, you'd rather think that Vettel finished second because he maybe had a bad set of tires or had to save fuel, than admit he and his car just weren't fast enough today...?
It really is kinda pathetic, the way WB comes up with this crap , no?

Exactly. Plus realistically speaking, Vettel will be world champion.

The situation today is very similar to what happened in Austria 02, especially given the championship standings.

Yep, could have but didnt. Either would have correct, you just can't have your driver hit each other there, they would have looked stupid

+1.

And Webber was gonna show him up, too, until they reigned him in.

Ferrari win because their car was the fastest.
On S2, Ferrari car was nearly one second faster than anybody, i don't think the EBD is important in high speed corner..

it is possible for them to race without coming together.

EBD is very important in the fast corners, but off throttle blowing isn't.

Thinking about alst year what happened here and now with this team order to keep Mark tamed, I was actually expecting Webber to just drive him off, would have been great too lol!

Doubt Ferrari would have been that quick if the ban wasnt in place...
Anyway, have to say as a Ferrari hater that alonso drove really well today, too bad with hte tactics though, Massa had to wait one lap going to dry tires, ruined his race pretty much

depends on how the driver uses the throttle no?
