I do feel that RB are well within their rights to do whatever they wish...I know most people are irked that they refuse to publicly admit they put all their eggs in the younger, newer basket but I do feel it is an in-house matter and we the public should not have any say - just like how Ferrari were with Kimi...if Mark is not happy being the second fiddle, then he should just leave.

of course you are right. It is their right to do this.
It is my right to like it or not.

When Ferrari did stuff in 2008 - I was saying my opinion. As well as many here. This is the way we ended up here on this lovely forum. Free to express our opinions.

When Kimi left F1 I said that I started to support Button and Webber, so I can be 'over the top' in my comment, but trying to keep it civilized of course :O

Webber is doing the best thing he can - racing hard and winning.

Webber has just said that he would not have signed a new contract for 2011 if he thought he would be treated this way with the wing swap

Denorth,

I would like to say that Vettel had contact just further later on with someone behind him thus puncturing his tyre... I sense Webber knows his seat is hanging in the balance for next year (even though he's signed on for next year) and is now driving/talking the way he is ... if you were from the other thread most kimi fans were kicked out before, then you'd know I'm the jinx and would like to withold the driver(s) I support this year...but I can only say my 'black magic' work on Fonzi and Ferrari is working out really nicely :thumbsup:

of course I remember you from the 'Other' place :p and it looks like Vetterl had a small contact with Lweis' frontwing. very light one.

It was harsh for Alonso (I have to say), he should've given the place to Kubica right away and then Kubica wouldn't do any troubles for Ferrari. It's kinda he put him in such position himself as Lewis in the situation with Kimi in 2008 (not exactly the same of course)

On the other subject:

Button such a gentleman!!! (his interview to BBC next to Rubens)

Webber and his car was amazing today. I hope that the fight for the championship is between Hamilton and Webber, but I doubt that the team will allow for this, even if Webber will be faster, they will do everything to Baby Schu was in the front.

Webber drove a perfect race today IMO. and very happy that Rubens and Kamui finished a well deserved 5th and 6th :D.
Alsonso was unlucky with that penalty IMO, but he should have yielded back that position to Kubica.
Michael was poor again, not looking good for him at all.

Well aren't we a load of reactionary so-and-so's today? I don't think Webber can complain that much about his wing if he has a car that can demolish the field like that, and therefore, especially given his race, I don't think random backlash against "Baby Schu" is particularly justified. As long as Red Bull don't majorly disavantage Webber, I don't see the problem. Of course, chances are they will so that they'll get themselves penalised so that the championship can drop in to Hamilton's lap, just like most of the luck has this season.
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.
