So red bull unsealed their gear box again right before a race...hmmmmmmmmmm. I think the other teams let them get away without questioning this. And it's only Vettel's car. Is that something normal? You hardly see other teams doing this. Vettel's gets repaired right before ever race it seems. Red Bull, are you cheating?

They have done this about 11-12 times this season before this and it's within the rules.

Why the concern about Red Bull? Marussia opened Bianchi's gearbox and changed 5 parts without penalty. And it's only Bianchi's, not poor Chilton. I think we should be asking more questions of Marussia. I don't think Bianchi's anything special, but Ferrari are paying Marussia to disadvantage Chilton so that their protege looks better.

Webber on Horner said:
"Christian is going to be with the team for a long time – indefinitely, you'd imagine, unless he gets an approach from somewhere else – so he's got to make sure that he tries to keep everything as smooth as possible,"


"In some cases that hasn't been something which might have benefitted me. That's put a stress on the relationship."

Webber on Dr Bellend said:
"I still don't really know his role in the team, so ... yeah. He was very critical of me from day one but in the end he's obviously brought Seb through and done a great job with that."

"He's probably disappointed that F1 teams have to have two cars. But they do,"

Webber on Vettel said:
"He is phenomenally gifted"

"We know that his strength is qualifying and the first five laps of the race. That's his signature punch. That's the hardest part to control,"

"There's so much water under the bridge between us that it's hard to think of more positives than negatives."

"That's a bit disappointing because you want to keep everyone in a respectful light, and give them as big a chance as possible, for as long as you can,"

"But I think there's probably too much that's gone on between us. Maybe when we're 50-odd things will be different but with what we've been through it's hard to draw a line under too much of it,"

"For sure I'm not super-bothered by it and nor is he. That's just the way it is,"
 
If he throws his toys out of the pram for long enough, then they will do what they can to meet his consistently ludicrous demands.

You mean like when Vettel doesn't get his way? Like when he told the Red Bull team to get webber out of the way for him when he couldn't pass him on track? Like when they told both of them to turn down engine and hold station and he turned up his and flew past webber to take the win? I wonder who was the cry baby in the pram then?:emoticon-0119-puke:

Anyone else getting a whiff of EMSC around here?

Oh good, he can collect his award. Actually, I've been thinking about how he used to say that Mercedes were incapable of running both cars properly; there's still some truth in it. Anyway, Vettel's a much bigger diva when he's not getting his way. So there.
 
To be fair, he had good reason too that day. He got well and truly dumped on from a great height.

meh, Webber was hoisted by his own petard, his words of Silverstone '11 came back and he just kept crying 'multi 2 1, multi 2 1', I wasn't too surprised at his double standards though, nor peoples tendancy to turn a blind eye to his hypocrisy.
