Mark is a good driver but personally, the least liked person in the pits. Not just this season but all through his career he has been the one i can clearly say, i wouldn't get along with him at all. Barrichello on the other hand, i'm gonna miss him, the Michael Palin of F1 drivers. Honest, nice person without overinflated ego.

The only issue I saw with Vettel was both times he dropped it into 1st coming into the pits. Very juddery, causing him to over-shoot his pit box.

hmm probably, but he might do what DC does with Red Bull now.

If I'm honest, I don't think Webber would feel the need to keep any sort for alligence to Red Bull. he doesn't seem like that kind of person.
I think he'd make a clean cut.

I don't know really. Well we won't know until he does it anyway. But i don't think Webber is the least liked in the pits.

I watched the race without commentary and we just assumed it was a team order to get Webber 3rd in the championship. (Team orders are allowed now right?) Did the team or Vettel say there was a gearbox problem?
Anyways, congrats to both Webber, Vettel and Red Bull. They have all done a great job.

The team said there was a gearbox problem (2nd and 3rd).
You could tell when Vettel came into the pits that there was a problem.
Combine that with the fact that Hamilton, Di Resta, Senna all had pretty much the same problem. I don't think Red Bull made anything up to help Webber.

Didnt look at it like this. Sounds like a perfect explanation. As now Alonso is bumped to 4th place in the overall standings.
RBR management should have used some humor: "Seb, Mark is faster than you!"

Would be quite funny.

Team orders that weren't made evident to don't take value from Mark's victory... logical, anything RBR had in play was P3 in drivers champ so it's logycal, I didn't liked the way they did it, they must think F1 fans are retarded.
"Janson save fuel, we must save fuel" worked for some fans so I guess the gear box was a good one too.
Hamilton DNF-ed because of his gearbox, I can imagine Vettel really had a gearbox problem, though the first thing that came in my mind was team-orders too.
