Horner trying to be diplomatic

Christian Horner getting a roasting from Ted Kravitz

Hahaha I remember clearly when Red Bull criticised others for team orders... this just shows when it comes to it... just as bad as the rest.

Horner "gave Mark the undercut twice" and when he was unable to take advantage of it, he told him to hold station. That's interesting, especially if they actually gave him preferential pit stops to benefit him.

It makes sense. Why risk a 2-3 finish for the team?

If Webber is unhappy about this, he knows what to do. Be faster and be ahead of Vettel. If he doesn't like it, he can piss off elsewhere, imo.

I thought Horner came out a couple of years ago and said "We let our drivers race blah blah."

Webber looks miffed.

Were team orders banned back then? Yes. Are they banned now? No. STFU

it was like Christmass for Ferrari this weekend, all those gifts...

I hope they are proud of themselves

Webber nicely avoided answering the question: "I tried...that's it"

So Red Bull told cars to hold station, in compliance with the sporting regulations and that's somehow being compared to Ferrari swapping cars...in violation of the sporting regulations. Am I the only person who finds this moronic on so many levels?

Regardless of the rule changes, I think the majority of fans want to see drivers in the same team be allowed to race each other.

Webber got 4 bites at Vettel.

Twice at Brooklands and twice into Copse.

Vettel defended against him, fairly, all 4 times.

Stowe is not a passing place unless you have a much faster car (2 seconds+\lap) and having a go into Vale is inviting trouble.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

My problem with Red Bull is there is no need to tell him to hold station. Vettel has a gargantuan lead in the championship let them battle it out ffs especially since how Red Bull always go on about equal treatment.

Whatever. Fernando Great race and stunning pace when it mattered.
Also to Schumacher, Perez and Alguersuari. Collision aside from Schumacher great races from all three.

I agree, and I also would have loved to see them race (but since Webber apparently ignored the orders (I say apparently), we did anyway, so there was no issue...). But it isn't the same as Hockenheim. It isn't even in the same ball park.

Webber only got the order after Copse on the final lap.

Well at the end of the race I can understand it, a driver is going to start making that do or die move and RB didn't want both cars crashing out.

According to Horner it was 2 laps. The message was delayed.

No he didn't. The radio transmissions are delayed. Horner himself said he gave it 2 lap to the end or something.

Delayed by that much?

Fair enough, then.

Webber didn't listen, so there's no problem.
