The thing here is that they are teammates, and with teammates it is a different game then with other drivers. IMO 2 one-two victories for Red Bull where eliminated by the ego of Mark Webber. |
Yes, there is room there. If you think they shouldn't be that close at 200mph, that is entirely Vettel's fault as he is taking a poorly calculated risk by diving in there. Look at what he does before he tries to dive in from the left. He is all over the place trying to find an opening. If he is confident enough to do that into a braking zone at 200mph, then he should be able to hold his car straight. Otherwise, it is just a reckless act and nothing more. The thing is even if Webber had moved all the way to the right and gave him room, Vettel was going in too hot, and most likely wouldn't have made that turn. That seems like just poor judgment and not being able to control his emotions; referred to as "red mist" on the track.
Team strategy is a another topic of discussion. Of course, the outcome of either scenario is not good for the team.
