You have missed the best ones, thank god they were lost when the site had to reset itself after the hacking incident and the 3 days worth of posts/articles were deleted!
I think if a team boss has balls and does his job properly, all drivers would obey team orders. Monaco 2007 is a great example of that:
Only excuse you could give Hamilton is his lack of experience, was it his 5th GP? Seb 3x World Champ with over 100 GPs under his belt, should have known better... Saying that, I hate team orders and whilst it maybe what the Teams want, the Fans want to see racing till the end, so as a Fan, I can't condemn the actions either.
I'd say the only "excuse" was he hadn't won a race, if he had won 27 or whatever and had 3 WDC's at that point, he'd have stayed behind on the first call.
http://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-news/mark-webber-lucky-for-not-getting-f1-penalty/ ---- Mark Webber lucky for not getting F1 penalty Mark Webber may have been the victim of the ‘Multi-21′ affair at Sepang, but the Australian’s behaviour also raised a few eyebrows. As his teammate Sebastian Vettel ignored team orders and launched an overtaking attack, Webber pushed the sister Red Bull almost into the pitwall at 300kph. He then showed his middle finger to his German cohort, and after the chequered flag was flown, he swerved into Vettel at high speed in one final act of frustration and anger. The FIA, however, remained silent, and not a single stewards’ investigation was launched. “Other drivers have been punished for much less,” an unnamed boss of a rival team is quoted by respected Auto Motor und Sport correspondent Michael Schmidt. ----
