What was that crap with Red Bull???? Sounded very much like team orders to me.
Is Christian Horner worried that Seb might turn sooky sooky lala if he is beaten by his team mate.
Don't think Mark was happy about it either.

Fun race. They should not be telling Webber to stay put -- though he says he still tried to race Vettel.
Nice to see Ferrari compete. If McLaren comes back to the front, we will see much more challenge for the podium  |

Voted for Alonso as the best driver today.
Unimpressed with the Red Bull team orders.
The race was pretty good, with lots of overtaking and close, competitive racing. Shame Button ended up failing to score the way he did. |

| Must admit, I'm similarly puzzled by the support for Webber's performance. |

Well just think where he might have finished if not for being told to "hold position".
