    I actually didn't. I didn't expect him to be quite so complimentary about Vettel, but I thought he'd leave on good terms with the team, I wouldn't be surprised if he carries some Red Bull branding in WEC next year.

    He will still be Red Bull sponsored, and will wear the typical helmet. Marko & Horner told that the media long ago.

    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.

    What if HAMILTON were cheating? I wonder if anyone would complain?

    He'd have to be a challenger first.

    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:

    To be fair, he had good reason too that day. He got well and truly dumped on from a great height.

    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.

    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.
