Webber really got the shaft today. Exciting racing by team mates,  both Red Bull & McClaren.

I would like to have seen Button keep the spot over Hamilton at the end, but he didn't seem to have the juice to keep it there.

The rain didn't seem to make any difference.

Great race!  Always makes me smile to see teammates foaming at the mouth for positions!  Kinda interesting to see the Mclarens going after each other only laps after the Redbull shimozzle.

Its a weird accident. In one sense Webber is under no requirement to give the position up. At the same time, Vettel was past him and you can see it clearly from the onboard of Webber he was past him enough to have position into the braking zone. At this point I think Webber should have moved out towards the racing line to give himself best position for a cutback move into the second to last turn, as Sebastian would quite clearly have overshot the corner from where he was, which is why he knew he had to turn back towards where webber was. This was I'd say 60/40 Vettel's fault, but 50/50 two hard headed drivers not willing to understand the most important rule of racing. "you never take your team mate off". The one thing people tend to forget or not understand, these cars do not drive or brake in a straight line in a consistant manner, and with how bumpy it is down that straight, two cars being that close was always going to end in tears.

The need to be the top dog at a team leads to some interesting on track incidents.

I don't suppose they could be convinced they are on equal terms?  ;D  ;)

Bad for team racing, great for fans!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Another great example of team mate love.  8-)

Silly place to overtake? nah, its the only point on the track thats a serious opportunity. I just think it was a silly move to make.

I find it funny, but I am sure David Coulthard and Martin Brundle were discussing on the grid walk about the Senna Prost clash at Japan in the first corner.
