I think you might be mixing selfishness with competitiveness a little bit too much.
Anyways, take a look at this article. I can easily see how RBR might have been trying an indirect team order. If so, (no matter how illegal against the league) then it would be nearly 100% Webbers fault from Red Bull's perspective. Though, the article does go on to display Horner completely opposing the removal of the team order ban, I could see them having general strategies to give their teammate a pass opportunity.
