I feel bad for Webber as well, but I have to admit I was on the edge of my seat as they were racing wheel to wheel...amazing skill from both of them. I was wondering how Mark lost a 5 second lead from the out and in laps of the last pit stop, but if he turned down his engine that makes a lot of sense.

I can agree on both sides......it needs to be entertaining, but at the same time if they are working as a team and the agreement that they would keep pace and turn their engines down, then they follow the plan. Webber did an amazing job throughout the race and bravo to team red bull.

Nevermind the RBR and Mercedes team orders, but what the hell is wrong with Alonso and his race engg??! They knew the car was damaged and could have bought him in at the end of the 1st lap but instead tried to do something stupid as usual. So screwed up!
