If I had an employee who disobeyed a direct order, I would show that person the door. The longer RB lets this continue the worst they appear as an organization.
I don't think that Webber's days in F1 are numbered I'm sure he can go to Renault, Ferrari or even McLaren, not to mention the slower teams like Sauber and Force India. Webber is a F1 driver and he will be here for a few more years

I will gladly hold the bottles(s) in escrow...since I do not drink, I am well qualified for this job.

So, just to summarize...

Pete picks Vettel for 2011 WDC
Sir A. Wayne "picks" Alonso for 2011 WDC.

Wilhelm picks Vettel to win more races than Alonso from Germany forward
Raj picks Alonso to win more races than Vettel from Germany forward.

Just watched the race on DVD.

Sucks Button got hosed in the pit stop.

Sucks Vettel got hosed in the pit stop.

Kudos to Alonso, who is doing a remarkable job of shutting the fock up this season.

Red Bull**** should be a lot more careful which of its radio clips gets broadcast. That team orders call on the last lap to Webber was utter and total bull****.

Errr... NO ..the only bet is for who wins the most races starting from last weekend until the end of the season ...

alonso =1
Vettel = 0

Points are taken off everytime a team uses a lifeline , Vettel used a lifeline last weekend bringing total scoring to ...

Alonso = 1
Vettel = -1

Ha, clearly you know all about being an F1 driver. Of all the years and years of hard work it takes to reach the absolute pinnacle of this sport. May we all bathe in your aura, seriously.
If Webber was considered a ***** by the industry he would be dropped like a stone. In fact he is liked by the other teams and journos and is in demand from others. He speaks his mind and intelligently. If I was in his position I would be trying to overtake Vettel under those circumstances and so would Vettel had the roles been reversed. Webber said as much.
Somehow when Vettel wins he does it all on talent, yet when Webber does well it's because he's in the best car? Btw, someone has to drive the best car. Shouldn't be held against them.
The team should be applauded for making such a car. Now, we have the goalposts being shifted mid season just to appease Ferrari and others. I can't see why this couldn't be taken to court for an infraction of the rules.

This is not unprecedented , so dont get touchy feely about it and forget the stooley/vettel ball washers, Webber did what any racer would have done..... Kudos.


Unfortunately Bernie cant handle such so off to NASCAR and/or Aussie V8 series in a couple......

Glad to see some things never change...

Interesting race. Ferrari looked strong, Red Bull looked stronger and Fernando drove very well at the right points in the race. You wonder, if RB makes a good pitstop, what the result would have looked like. KERS problems may have let Fernando close up anyway. Awesome for Fernando and Ferrari, both well deserved victories. Good drive from Vettel but in all fairness, he should have finished third. Such is F1 racing. Mark also drove a good race, but I wonder if, on top of pure favoritism, Red Bull really are freaked out about the change in the rules so they decided to model Mssr. Todt's philosophy.

Too bad about Button and the horse**** incident that Mass and Lewis were involved in. Lewis really would do well in NASCAR.

I am open to whatever you want to bet. Since it is a friendly wager, $$ would be inappropriate.
As far as your mazda 3 against my 968 turbo, how much of a head start would be fair for you? just kidding..

Wilhelm,
Go with something easy, like whomever loses the F1 bet between yourself and Raj, agrees to leave RL permanently.

I made such a bet with Raj last year (if Alonso won the 2010 WDC, I was gone for good). However, knowing that Ferrari and Alonso would self implode, I didn't pack my bags. True to form, the "choke" occured, followed by a modified and rarely seen "middle finger Heimlich" by Alonso.

If it was good enough for last year, it should be good enough for this year...
