Just a comment on the Turkish GP, WTF!!! Red Bull certainly doesn't go with winning the right way. Too bad, it looked like Webber may have had this race wrapped up what with the fuel situation at McLaren.

Why the hell would team cars hit each other, would have thought they would be giving each other plenty of room.
The owner will be real pleased if come the end of the season they miss out by the points they would have got for a first place as opposed to 3rd.

Bummer of a result. He did everything right. Webber didn't look happy in the post race press conference. Had a face like a cats bum, trying to keep himself in control.

Seemed to be nothing wrong with the initial move past Webber but the end turn across Webbers front was early and aggressive ,it looked like he actually thought Mark was going to yield some ground under braking but he was happy to brake on that line and hold Vittel outside.
Vittel looked like he may have thought he was past him enough hence the move to the right ,
I thought Mark was very well retrained when questioned ...Strange I still haven't seen any interview from Vittel(Team censored maybe).

The craziness of the F1 circus!

The points disparity between Weber and Vettel however has played into Mark's hand. Some sort of buffer to the other two and his real competition has not scored this round.

He just needs to keep on getting onto the podium with consistency and the world championship is his for the taking - that would be good.

Did you see Webber showing Hamilton what happened while Button was speaking during the press conference? Webber's hand gestures made it pretty clear exactly how he felt about the move!
Craziness!

A lot more to this - Webber was told to 'turn down' his engine at the start of that lap as he had used more fuel that Vettal and it was becoming critical. That gave Vettel a bit more grunt (he would have to follow suit on the next lap) and he knew that for one lap he had more power than Webber, so he went for it. Trouble is on that part of the circuit, it's bumpy which kinda threw Vettel off-line and into Webber who was not allowing any extra space and why should he? He's leading the championship! It was Vettels responsibility to make the pass a clean one and he failed. Webber says that they will never agree on that one and will go to their graves not agreeing! Should make the coming races a bit tasty.... :-) Also bear in ming that Vettel is German, the team is Austrian/German based, etc....any bets on Webber moving next year?

Not a chance as long as Red Bull is the weapon of choice...

Yes, I saw that and the director cut away to JB very quickly...

Mark Webber talks about Sebastian Vettel crash Video here

PCC 06-03-2010 05:57 AM

Vettel saw his chance and took it.

I think he expected Mark would yield, but as said why should he.

Vettel has been talked up as the next big thing since Shooie and has an enormous amount of pressure on his shoulders - you can see it in his inconsistency.

The best part of the race was Button / Hamilton a few laps later - a duel through 5 corners - excellent!

Will Mark be at Red Bull next year - I personally don't think so - he is having a purple patch at the moment, but we have yet to see him come from behind.

Although I fully support him in what he has done, the Pome duo are the one's to watch - Car is coming good and both drivers are superbly good.

Go Mark - but you've still got a big hill to climb.

Maybe head but your team mate before he gets in the car so we avoid such a calamity as that seen at Turkey
