steady_dave Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Vettel fail. When Hamilton tied passing him after the first pit stop he did the same thing, nt intentionally crashing obviously but flicking the car a bit right to un-nerve the other driver. Obviously Webber held his line and so that didn't work as well as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'm pleased Mclaren got the one two. Nice to see Webber finishing third after that ridiculous move by Vettel. Wait until Webber sees that nutter gesture Vettel was making by waving his finger around next to his head when he was walking away from his damaged car.

johnny g Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Vettel is regretting it already, judging by the way he was with the pitwall after the incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 yeah retired he couldnt even remember what tyres to put on if it rained. A smidge unfair really. He was told about precipitation in mm over a period - which he couldn't related to a tyre. Not helped by driving at 150mph under a couple of G.

Alex Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Before I go on, it was Vettel's fault. Mark held true and straight, Vettel tried to force him over and failed. But Seb's only defence is *if* he lost traction on the dirty track. Mark shouldn't have let him up the inside in the first place!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is the powers that be at Red Bull favour Vettel, so obviously Mark should have just moved over and let him past (rather than racing, who does that nowadays!). It's obvious to anyone outside the company who was in the wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 It is definitely true that RedBull's owner wants Vettel to win - because he is a product of the RedBull driver academy. Webber was originally brought in to help RB secure the Renault engines...he WASN'T brought in to fight wunderkid... Webber has bloodied their noses a few times now, and is forcing RB into a corner. Question is, can he now trust them to give him equal equipment/support or is his season now doomed due to shortsightedness. IMO Vettel is not yet a champion driver, in a lesser car he wouldn't be doing as well. He's not learnt to overtake in way that say Lewis and Jenson demonstrated during the race....or defend either, he cracks too often, I think the weight of RedBull's expectations is too much for him to carry at such an age. And that pressure is what caused that crash, the team engineered him the oppertunity to take the lead and he cocked it up. Webber was told to turn his engine down before Vettel, giving Vettel one oppertunity to pass...and we know what happened there. The McLaren's were told at the SAME TIME to turn their engines down and save fuel, and fight amongst themselves at reduced power...which they did, cleanly. I actually want Webber to be the WDC this year as it will really p*** Deitrich off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I thought the idea of the new points system was to encourage drivers to go for the win,that comes with risk.I take your point Alex that Vettel wouldn't do so well in a lesser car, we have Schumi proving that every race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
