A brilliant race spoilt by bloody team orders. Too much for "we are the only team that lets our drivers race".

Webber should leave RedBull.

well after the "veiled messages" last year at ferrari, they all admitted to doing it... its just they weren't as blantent...

I don't have a problem with it if they are allowed to race until the last lap... but at that stage if by racing and desperate they end up doing what hamilton and massa did, and almost take each other out... then it is wise...

that about as much f1 talk as i have ever done... i am going back to watch the tour de france!!!

Team orders came first.

They're not always popular and everyone can rage on and on for ever about them!

But when it is for the overall good for the team, you have to take the rough with the smooth.

I think there are drivers that would willingly do that if the team was clear about it, but Red Bull has always billed itsself as mavericks, that let their drivers race because that is what the fans want to see.

In today's case you could see that after the howlers that had been made in the pits, RedBull felt they owed it to vettel.

Senna & Prost didn't have a problem ignoring team orders when they both raced for McLaren - but then they were the two top names in F1 at the time and could afford to stick a finger up to Ron Dennis if he didn't like it.

I have to confess to not watching F1 as dilligently as I used when Mansell was racing but the race last week was thrilling and we were out for this one so will watch it tonight.

It was a brilliant race, another good one.

We love the Grand Prix but it is a great cure for insomnia.
