Müle;8309055Does anyone honestly still like Vettel after this?
If so, why?
I HATE him even more. Helmut Marko can go fall in a wildfire for all i care.
As for Kimi, i would be frustrated too.

Also with Mercedes, Brawn told Rosberg there's nothing up the road for you stay behind him. What about the podium?
I was just thinking, after reading several posts here and elsewhere...
People are mad because Vettel disobeyed team orders and consequently passed Webber, but at the same time are mad that Rosberg obeyed team orders by not passing Hamilton. So, in one instance a driver is criticized for disobeying orders and in another it's because a driver obeyed team orders. Clearly, it depends on how folks feel about the driver in question. It's popular to hate Hamilton so the cool kids wanted him passed by Rosberg, but it's popular to hate Vettel winning so the cool kids wanted him not to pass.
There have always been team orders in F1. To think this is a recent occurrence is quite ignorant of the sport's history.
And as far as the tires go, I am happy with any situation as long as the rules are the same for everyone. When we had perfect tires, people were complaining about them being able to last the whole race (Vettel in monza 2010). Now we get people complaining about them degrading. The truth is that no matter the regulations, someone is going to disagree with them. The thing that we should be worried about is DRS.

All 3 podium finishers were upset sums it all up.
I might be wrong but recently (before the race) I thought the SkyF1 team analysed one of McLaren's pit stops and pointed out that whilst they were quick, there were teething problems. One of which being the wheel gun man raising his hand to indicate the nut was on before it was actually on. They also said that this would cost the team one day....
Jenson had a solid 5th in a struggling car if not for another issue with the McLaren not due to the driver.
Why would Lewis be upset at all ?
From his interview I think it was because he spent a lot of the race in fuel conservation mode, so couldn't really push up to the Red Bulls and achieve the maximum position he could. Plus he sounded a bit bummed out because of the situation with Rosberg, they are fairly good friends so I doubt it was nice for him with the team denying Rosberg a podium when it was basically because of him.
He still drove well though, that Mercedes isn't half as bad as most thought it would be. He may even be in with a shout of the championship.
How is it being 'trolled'? He went against a team agreement and screwed over his team-mate. His reputation is permanently damaged and the rest of the team are angry at him, nobody wins.

I know there have been for a long time, Im just saying I dislike it. Dont assume.
Having the field race hard against each other instead of getting pegged back and told to hold position is the much better proposition like it or not.
