And Vettel wins...
I'm sorry, I really don't like that guy.
Lots of interesting team dynamics in this race! Rosberg wanting to get past Lewis, and Mercedes telling them not to let them race; Vettel wanting to get past Webber, Red Bull telling them not to race - and Vettel being Vettel and doing it anyway.
I'm sorry, but that was reckless. In his persistent desire to be #1 he could taken himself and his team-mate out. Webber was pissed in the anteroom afterwards - he'd clearly followed team orders, Vettel didn't and took what Webber must have felt was his position. Contrast that with Lewis and Rosberg, who did follow team orders - and poor Lewis looked pretty sheepish up there!
Personally I don't agree with team orders, I think drivers should be allowed to race. But I don't think it's fair when you have team orders and one driver listens and the other one sees it as an opportunity for personal glory, doesn't listen and steals the position. Typical bloody Vettel.
Still, I'm glad to see Lewis on the podium so early in his Mercedes career. Particularly when McLaren had a DNF and a 9th. Not looking like such a shabby move right now, is it? It was funny when he pulled into the McLaren pits by mistake and the crew just waved him on through. Force of habit, I guess!
