Dude... Look at my i-club avatar! You should know me by now
Ok established RBR has dirty tactics. If its easy to see with a public eye, don't you think a professional like Kimi would see this. This is why I'm saying he will not go to RBR.

Ummm. He went to Ferrari though... Them and McLaren are the dirtiest teams in this regard. He's been on both of them.

I don't think that's really much a consideration now. He's getting older, he know he needs the best car he can get. That's going to be Ferrari or RBR right now.

If Vettel was that fast he wouldn't need that extra tenth of second that wing produced, and could have turned it down because he broke his and shouldn't have to take Mark's. Its called Sportsmanship.

Mark didn't need it to win that race.

As for Team Orders see the following:


"Mark, Maintain the gap" Btw mark never passed Vettel

"Fernando, your faster than Fisi. Over take him"

"Roseberg: I can go so much Faster than him if he lets me pass, Brawn: negative. negative, Nico"

"Engineer: Kimi is faster than you, do not hold him up"

"Fernando is on a different strategy, so let him pass you, different strategy"

Lets not forget Vettel is the golden boy for Infiniti right now. With financial backing like that, they don't want to market a person who isn't winning. So in hindsight, there's no room for any #2 RBR to shine.

As for Team Orders see the following:


F1 2011 Red Bull's team order to Webber 'Maintain the Gap' - Silverstone 2011.mp4 - YouTube
"Mark, Maintain the gap" Btw mark never passed Vettel

Alonso-Fisichella team orders in Turkey 2005 - YouTube
"Fernando, your faster than Fisi. Over take him"

Hamiltion vs Rosberg : Team Orders From Ross Brawn : Malaysia F1 - YouTube
"Roseberg: I can go so much Faster than him if he lets me pass, Brawn: negative. negative, Nico"

lotus team orders in Bahrain GP 2012.avi - YouTube
"Engineer: Kimi is faster than you, do not hold him up"

Ferrari team order in China 2012 - YouTube
"Fernando is on a different strategy, so let him pass you, different strategy"
Sportsmanship?!

Seriously?

Leave that to the lower teams. There is a damn championship on the line here.

Oh... and webber was not good enough that day to ignore the calls from RBR and pass vettel. Ignore he did, but he sure wasn't fast enough to pass.

lol obviously you didn't watch the video
the move started at 0:26, vettel covered the inside line. Mark on the outside
0:28 Mark is half is beside vettel on the outside
0:29 Mark LIFTS (you can hear throttle ease up)
0:34 Mark once again Lifts going in to turn 1
0:40 Horner again tells Mark to maintain the gap.

He didn't ignore the call he followed orders.

I don't miss an F1 race...

He couldn't pass him. He tried several time again and again. This is just 1 stupid clip. He was simply unable to pass him. He could have, but didn't get the job done. He sure tried though.

If they REALLY wanted him to keep the gap, should have just told him of some fake issue and turn the engine back. I mean they have Webber turn the engine back, and not vettel. Should they REALLY want vettel to hold the gap, should have told him to turn the engine back. Not that I condone such a stupid move... I want racing.

Waaaay too much $$$$$ on the line. Go to a karting event if you want to see real racing. I am taking a sabbatical from this thread.
