I think Vettel has every right to question the strategy, It was a terrible call that lost his second place if not the race.

+1. Still, he had a podium and Mark Webber is now slouch either. Button is officially a run-away freight train of 100% pure, concentrated WIN but it would be nice to see things shaken up a bit more often.

Vettel was not going to win the race.

He could not pass Button when he was significantly lighter.

His second pit stop was a good move - he was just degrading his tires and wasn't going to get past Button.

Telling him to slow up and not pass Webber - on the other hand - didn't make any sense at all.

That type of stuff will drive a young driver nuts.

True, after watching the entire race while working out, I''l agree Vettel couldn't have won it. He just didn't have the car, however, he should have taken second, but as Alzilla alluded, Webber is no slouch.

In this case I'm with the team giving Vettel team orders especially since the difference between Vettel and Webber is only 3.5 points it's too risky to have both your drivers fight it out and risk losing them both..... Plus Vettel should be pissed that he droped the ball in lap one and gifted button the lead
