F1 Update 2

Malaysian Grand Prix Part 2.

The bigger story of the weekend causing controversy and chaos after and during the race was of course the Vettel and Webber incident. A battle between teammates going too far. A furious Webber's trust for Vettel has been destroyed. Vettel's actions not taken lightly. 

Lap 26 - Vettel's frustration coming through in a team radio saying let me go past him, he's too slow. 

Final pit stop - Webber and Vettel neck and neck into the first corner with webber on cold tyres. A small battle takes place where there is close tight cornering both wheel to wheel, fighting for the top spot on the podium, a battle Webber wins with some great driving.

End of the lap - Vette has DRS and tries to pass Webber on the inside where there was only a gap of only a couple of centimeters between Vettel's car and the wall and Webber's car to Vettels. It's the closest wheel to wheel action I have ever seen! 

It doesn't end there Vettel's success was short lived and Webber fought back with short burst of acceleration and skilled driving. Finally Webber thought the better of it and gave the place up at turn 4. 

Vettel went on to win but the celebrations were hardly happy, Webber ignored Vettel and kept to himself. A 1st place he should have celebrated. 

So whats the controversy about? 
Team orders were in place to keep these positions and bring the cars home, Webber's engine was turned down but little did he know that his team mate was out for the win. 
Vettel ignored the team orders and attempted passes that could have got them both climbing out of their cars early.  Webber realising this, let Vettel pass before an inevitable crash happened. 

Webber has not yet accepted apologies from Vettel and feels that the trust has been broken. Both drivers unhappy with the race that day. 

Hope you enjoyed reading.

F1 Update

So the Malaysian Grand Prix had a few EPIC stories and adventures but 2 of them really stood out. 

Firstly the Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn had to fight a slightly frustrated Nico Rosberg who wanted to pass team mate Lewis Hamilton yet team orders was stopping him. A cool Ross Brawn handled the situation well and kept Rosberg at bay. Although Hamilton took the final place on the podium he still thought he didn't deserve it as much as Rosberg. An honest Hamilton dedicating this podium to his team mate. Rosberg hoping for the favour to be returned and I'm sure it will be. 

Both drivers drove a good race and held a good solid 3rd and 4th. Although there could have been bigger success. As we know Hamilton has been with his former team Mclaren for many years and he's used to driving into their pit box. So we saw in the Malaysian Grand Prix Hamilton take a visit to his former team stopping there during his pit. Mclaren team delighted to see him, wave him past. An 'oops' moment for the mercedes driver not easily forgotten. 

The next part of Malaysian Grand Prix to come!
