davenportram Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Pretty sure Button would have got a podium if not for the pit stop. he lost over a lap in the pit stop, but was was only around a minute behind the mercs when he retired.Surely he would have beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Uttox its a bit like playing the ball to the corner on 90 mins in Footie. No its not. Its like driving a car very fast to win a race unless your boss tells you to slow down and let someone else win. Shud be in Off Topic, not Other Sports.......

DCFCfranco Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Getting fed up with F1 now it's becoming boring with vettels and RBs dominance. I'm only checking on results of Alonso and kimi because I have a bet on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Getting fed up with F1 now it's becoming boring with vettels and RBs dominance. I'm only checking on results of Alonso and kimi because I have a bet on. Vettel may have won again but there's a massive story behind it, not like he won lights-to-flag. I almost don't care who wins as long as the race is exciting, if Vettel wins every GP with a photo finish I wouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Very very interesting race that, and great to see emotions spill over. We get so much PR crap from teams, but when they actually show emotion is much more interesting. TV ratings went up massively in the Prost/Senna era despite it being relatively dull on track. Vettel's Senna-esque quest to humiliate everyone in every GP with his brilliance could be his downfall. Who would be his team-mate now? Funny how Merc and Red Bull found themselves in similar situations after the final stop and seeing how differently team and driver dealt with it. Hamilton clearly felt guilt and was a bit of a miserable sod on the podium. That might be one of the most unhappy podiums I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is about this was the team orders it kills the race and sport I don't know why they let it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Vettel ignored team orders - Webber followed them after he got overtaken. which one is more likely to be looked at more favourably by the team bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The thing is about this was the team orders it kills the race and sport I don't know why they let it back in. Team orders surface one way or another. It's a team sport and an individual sport at the same time and it will never be perfect. One of the reasons why I like F1 is that it has that contradiction, and it often causes friction which overspills like on Sunday. Nothing boring about Webber and Vettel falling out on live TV.

Vettel is the golden boy at Red Bull and would probably have to kill a man for that to change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Back in the old days when they were allowed shared drives, Juan Manuel Fangio's teammates were forced to pit and get out the car so Fangio could drive the healthy car. Peter Collins lost a Championships thanks to this. Mika Salo also lost a chance to become a Grand Prix winner in 1999 when Eddie Irvine was chasing his fruitless World Championship battle, ironcly Irvine was forced to hold station behind Schumacher in one race before his broken leg, which if was allowed to pass he would have won the Championship with help from Schumacher team orders in the last two races. Team orders will also be a part of motorsports. Doesn't mean you have to like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Formula 1 is a farce - and 'team orders' is exactly the same as match-fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
