The funny side is that it took the british media one week to take a look over the garden fence and examine the points of the other side of this team mate war.
I always found it strange that Webber went on with his crusade after the wing thing was explained to him by Horner. It is entirely plausible that he did this on advise by Briatore as he already claimed to have spoken with Briatore before the race. Webber hinted that he regrets signing a contract after the race. That would also be in line with an attempt at overthrowing the last contract conditions and raising his salary from 5 to 8 millions. It would be a typical Briatore money grabbing scheme to use Horner's screw ups to put pressure on the team and have them appeasing him by money. Cleverly done but typically Briatore sleazy if it is true. Webber should split from Briatore. The association with that crook will damage him if he stays.
More outpouring of hate towards Webber with desperate attempts to link this all back to Briatore, without a single word of condemnation for Dr Marko who has once again publicly criticised one of his teams drivers at a time when they're supposed to be reconciling their differences.
Or is Dr Marko's interview part of Webber's pysops plan and in fact was written by Briatore?
Sooner or later you're going to have to face up to the fact that Red Bull Racings parent company have chosen to back Vettel and are manipulating the team to give him preferential treatment. They are also engaging in a media campaign to undermine the other side of the garage and were not only the first to speak out in public criticism of one of their own but are still engaging in this media war after the 'clear the air' talks. Vettel is happy to accept advantage and has done nothing to suggest otherwise whilst publicly criticising his team mate for not accepting disadvantage.
That Webber has used the only weapon he has, public opinion, to try and ensure a fair shot at the title does not make him mad, manipulative or engaged in a psyops campaign against his team mate - it makes him a racing driver who is having to fight tooth and nail for a level playing field. Vettel's reputation is taking such a hit due to both his and his teams actions, albeit mostly the latter, and is not because of an orchestrated campaign by Webber in collaboration with Briatore.
