- Webber drove to target laptimes asked by his engineer. Vettel believed this was too slow and said to his engineer "Mark is too slow, get him out of the way". The team replied it was just halfway in the race.
- After the final stop, both drivers were said through the radio (the message to Vettel was broadcast for everyone) to keep strategy "multi21", meaning car 2 stays ahead of car 1
- Webber turned down his engine as requested and was told Vettel would not pass
- Vettel ignored the"multi21" order/request and kept pushing to get Webber
- Webber then asked his team again what was the situation, noting that Vettel was closing in on him. He was told again that positions would be maintained (and the team still believed it would happen this way)
- Vettel attacks and passes Webber, displeasing Newey and Horner on the pitlane. Horner said after the race "Vettel took it in his own hands".
- Vettel went on to explain in different way, going from "it was not intentional" to "if I knew it would end like this I would not have taken so much risk to pass Mark".
Note that this is not my opinion, but the facts as they happened. There's no point in arguing those, and as mentioned, posts neglecting these facts will be removed.
-You might want to include that Webber fought for the position nearly slamming Vettel into the Wall at high speed.
-Vettel made several apologies stating both he apologisez and there was said team order in place, -
-,-but, and here seems to be the reason for some of the confusion, I'd like to hear that radio call stating multi 21 to Vettel explicitly. It seems this was a general rule thought of long before the race. It applied there and Vettel didn't realize it, thinking he was just to look after tires and motor in general, but not that he must not overtake.
Facts mean nothing when selected and not in full context.
