Both drivers are in with championship chances, the team needs to accept that, if they cant then maybe they should go for one main driver and a rookie.
In the past teams have not had a problem managing this, and there have been many scraps between team mates in the past, its part of the sport and its BS that they feel that this incident is unjust in some way, then its their own management at fault as well as their drivers attitudes.
As much as people want to bang on about this being a "team" sport, it just isnt...its about the drivers championship, this isnt soccer or football or hockey, only one man can lift that trophy at the end of the season.
The only people who give a crap about the constructors are the sponsors, everybody else cares about the drivers championship.
I have no sympathy for Webber...at all, and the same goes for Vettel.
They have what in truth is the best car this season, they both know this and they both want to win the championship because they may not have this dominance again, Webbers major threat in the table IS Vettel, so why should Vettel sit back ?
If Webber himself cared about "team spirit" then maybe he should have let Vettel through (who was the faster man at the time), the race was not going to be won by one overtake at that stage, and risking a DNF when leading the championship is stupid on Webbers part, he could have easily jumped Vettel again if he was confident in his ability (rather than hoping for team orders).
And second would have been better than third or possibly a DNF in the worst case scenario...the truth is, he probably is happy with Vettels DNF but angry because he wasnt protected by team orders.
No driver deserves a free ride to the first spot, and i dont care who you are even if your name is Micky McShoe.
