"Get him out of the way, he's too slow."
- Sebastian Vettel asking Red Bull Racing to tell Mark Webber to move over
I'll go ahead and wait for the Alonso and Schumacher haters to chime in. That said we can make the important deduction here that Adrian Newey only remote pilots Vettel's car and not Webber's.

The 3 time champ's ego is starting to get the better of him. He thinks at this point, IMHO, that he should be given the win.
When he was complaining on his radio(that Webber was holding him up), Webber was putting in faster laps.
I expect Seb to take him out any minute now...lol

Holy damn guys. There's fighting for a position and there's being a **** about it. I don't know what to make of that other than huge courage by Vettel. Massive props for keeping your foot in it.
Edit* More requests to pass a teammate this time coming from Rosberg.

Nobody on the podium seems pleased. Intra-team issues are apparent.
Couldnt hear what Mark said in the green room to Seb.

The Pirelli tires make for very unpredictable racing, but we the fans are actually being robbed of seeing the drivers drive as fast as they could go if they weren't constantly having to slow down to conserve the rubber. I would prefer to see the drivers pass each other on the track rather than jump each other because of the 3 or 4 pit stops they need to make.

I think Seb and Mark are both being immature, and I think it was stupid of the team to try to hold Seb back. They should have warned the drivers that they would be racing each other near the end, and trust them to have at it fairly with a cool head, instead of in the heat of frustration. Christian and the team were equally to blame, IMO.
I'm more frustrated that Ross didn't let Nico race. Lewis would have put up a fair fight and there still would have been a Merc on the podium.
I think they should remove the damned radios from the cars and let them race the old fashioned way, It would be WAY more entertaining.

"Controlled pace" comment by Ross Brawn speaks volumes of the tire degradation and how it does not allow the drivers to really push and give it their all.

They had agreed to race until last pit stop when the situation was supposed to be frozen. Seb obviously didn't comply...
BS move from him and apology for Mark afterwards just makes it worse IMO, I was waiting Mark to punch him. He did give Seb a finger during the race.
What a huge mistake from Alonso & Ferrari which is a very fast car at the moment.
Good pace from MB, really looked like Nico might've been able to catch Webber although he at that point was cruising.
All together, disappointing end for top 4.

The broadcast stated that the team was waiting with new tires (dry) and a new nose when Alonso drove past pit entrance.
Was he ordered to Box, or did the team tell him to stay out until it dried out a bit or until Charlie Whiting black flagged him?
It's only 2 races in ... you can expect more "team strategy" from Ferrari
