10 points plus three bonus old school points. Nice work!

Can't.
Fucking.
Wait.

From what Vettel has been saying in the news and shit today he'll move over for Webber if the positioning is right for Mark.

^^ its inevitable, redbull would have egg on their faces if he didnt in this situation. it would take much away from their CWC. I'm still nervous about the Yas Marina layout though, it aint suited to an underpowered Renault engine. I could be wrong, I hope I am.

Not sure if you guys got the BBC telecast but Horner said in no uncertain terms that Wookie would let him through if that is what was required.

[tremolo]

Yep

"both drivers will do their best for the team" = "even dr Marko will punch on with vettel if he stooges us out of a wdc"

Webbers start will set the tone for the race. Watching the Brazil start live I thought he did well but when I watched the Brazil post race forum and they showed the start from a number of drivers he had the worst start. If Hamilton didn't have Vettel in front he would have been past and Alonso was blocked by Webber/Hamilton from going any further.

Webber won't have that luxury in Abu Dhabi, he needs to have the start of his life this weekend or there is no point talking about Vettel pulling over cause Webber will be down in fifth....

I think if the situation arises, Vettel will move over for Webber, he will probably be a dick about it, but I still think he'll be a team player. I don't know the internal going ons within the team, but to me the bad blood Webber has is between himself and Marko; not between Webber and Vettel; they both know they are employees, which mean they don't have to be best friends.

But Webber just needs to find the 0.06s he seems to be lagging behind Vettel in Qualifying to jump him to pole; but it will all go to waste if he has a start as poor as Monza. Need Vettel to bog it like at Silverstone, but I wouldn't bet on it.

just over 2 days left before the action starts

I don't want the season to end... But I cannot wait for this!

C'MON MARK!

[TonyJZX]

they will fine RBR $100k but thats a small price to pay isn't it Alonso?

[tremolo]

No fine if vettel makes the decision all by himself...

[tremolo]

Sorry, all by himself

[SuperDave]

FIA usually let team orders slide in the tail end of the season.

I laughed when SV said 'I vouldn't mind a little Ferrari smoke' after the post race interview.

Alonso's donk must be like a tired dog atm, tounge hanging out giving it all its got to get through the next race. Could work out well if they need to turn it down.

If jeebus doesnt bust a miracle and make two rbr's and alonso explode allowing lewis to win the race and title, I hope Mark pulls it off.
