Sebastian Vettel has won the Malaysian GP after passing his teammate following an extremely hard fought battle 10 laps from the end. Mercedes impressed as well with Hamilton finishing on the podium, just ahead of his teammate Nico Rosberg.

According to Sky commentary Vettel was told to hold station as was Webber. By definition that's not pure racing. Just remember that next time Vettel is protected from Webber through team orders.

I think Webber / Vettel and Rosberg/Hamilton took too much risks ...
They could have cost their teams !
I wont be surprised if there will be some explanations ..

I will...
Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.
Sebastian Vettel
--- race, --- feeling on the podium, looks like a funeral, with all this political/team order bullshit. Hamilton doesnt deserve to be there in the slightest...
Problem is, I'm certain Webber has been told to hold station many, many times in the past and has done as he's told...
Also, whilst I agree that Mercedes has every right to keep their cars safe to the finish, I can also imagine a very different opinion from the Sky commentators if the Merc driver in front had a red helmet...
Wish we could have seen Alonso in the mix, quite certain he would have been in there. Inexplicable decision not to bring him in after lap 1, but also not sure why he had to be so close to the back of Vettel.
There you go it's explicit. Webber was told that they weren't racing any more, turned everything down on the car, then Vettel attacked. Very hypocritical given the way he's been protected in the past, and has demanded that protection. That's going to come back and bite Vettel later in the year if he needs support from Webber at a future race. He could be hung out to dry.
I blame the tyres. All the teams are looking so carefully on them and then strategy suffers which influences on drivers. If we had more consistent tyres there won't be such stupid strategies and they would be let alone to race freely as they wish. But now they have to maintaing artifical gap to perserve the tyres.
