Going to be some fallout from this one, I've haven't seen such a frosty podium in years.

Vettel completely ignoring team orders to take the win. Webber won't be happy!

The top 3 all looked so depressed on the podium! It was great!

i didnt like Vettel before but since i had a £5 on Webber for the Win at 20/1 i now think hes a total arse bandit to put it lightly

It does however show he has the ruthlessness "win at all costs" mentality?

That is the thing, I don't like or agree with what he did, but to be a champion in any sport you sometimes have to do things others would not.

Yes it will upset a lot of people but when it comes down to it, these extra points might just give him another world championship

It's almost as annoying as people posting the results to facebook long before any normal person has had a chance to watch the race, nevermind the highlights.....

Loved it when Hamilton drove through the McLaren pit box  :embarrassed: Easily done i guess, old habits die hard.

It could have been worse... Just imagine if he went into the pits to retire his Mercedes and parked it straight in the McLaren garage  :smiley:

Was not the best day really in terms of how F1 comes across in the racing aspect.

Does seem mad that both Vettel and Rosberg were faster than Hamilton/Webber but were just told to sit there and let their team mates get the win and podium

I know both Hamilton/Webber were told to turn the engine down or save fuel in the case of Hamilton but why should Rosberg suffer from Mercedes making a bad call with Hamilton? We seen last season that Vettel only won the championship with a 3 point gap. No wonder Rosberg was getting so angry, can't blame him at all

Anyway, Webber can stop crying like he does when this happens to him, only in the British Grand Prix 2011 he admitted to ignoring 4/5 messages from the team not to overtake Vettel and hold station, but he said he was not going to listen...
