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.

Errrm why exactly?
I take that back. At the time I was under the assumption that he had burned through his tires(rather than having to save fuel

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 ..

Would be interesting if Mark only took the hard tyre because he was told Vettel would hold station.

Shittastic politics and teamorder crap. Vettel did it right, and Nico should have done so too.

--- 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.

Love the racing. Glad Vettel did what he did.
Team orders, go away!

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.

IMO those tyres are BS!
