As far as I'm concerned, Webber is completely to blame. In a situation like that, he should've moved. For the paycheck he pulls and the car he drives, he owes something to the team. There were plenty of empty seats in the stands, but apparently, it was just too much to ask him to move aside for his faster teammate.
That same Webber took him out in the last race, too. And let’s not forget how he slammed into Hamilton and likely ruined his podium finish.
So, in my book, Vettel's expression is totally justified. Thanks for the photo.
Why on earth should he move for a teammate who clearly wasn't skilled enough to pass without crashing? Just because of a salary? Man, billions of people earn a paycheck, and most of them don't let their coworkers or bosses push them around.
Did he get an official team order to let the guy through? Nope.
Was Webber officially designated as the number two driver who has to play nice and yield? No way...
Webber held his line and didn't budge an inch. He stayed stubborn and stuck to his lane because, legally speaking, he had every right to stay put. It was Vettel who tried a move he clearly couldn't pull off, and then ended up crashing straight into his own teammate.
A little later, the much smarter Button tried to overtake his teammate as well. Since he actually knew what he was doing, he managed to pull it off for a moment—though he might have had to give the spot back later. He definitely didn't keep pushing like a madman, and in the end, the smarter Button walked away with 18 points that Vettel could have grabbed.
Look, I wasn't jumping into this thread to debate who’s more to blame, since everyone's going to have their own take on that anyway. I only quoted you because you claimed Vettel doesn't get involved in the fighting. I posted the pic just to remind you that isn't true. Regardless of who we think is in the wrong... that look on Vettel's face is nothing less than a declaration of war. What you or I think about whether his reaction was fair is totally irrelevant to the fact that the fight has started.
