Why is Webber taking all of this so well?
No comments from Vettel either sice the incident.
I think any driver in a team deserves more respect than that given so far by RBR to Webber. I hope he continues to dominate that twerp Vettel if only to just piss off Horner and company.
And Webber being told to go on a different mix of fuel and Hamilton told to save fuel whilst both their team mates have a go at them a lap later shows how competitive these guys are once racing. And... to me anyway, shows what arseholes they can be.
If the situations were reversed I think Webber and Hamilton would have done the same though.

I remember successful defence move during final laps of Australia GP 2009. He successfully putted himself and Kubica into retirement with almost exactly same move as most recent one!

he also run up webbers arse under safety car 
I like this analysis or theory, sounds very plausable.
I get the idea that Vettel expected it to be easier than it was but instead wasn't given as much room as he expected. Then he expected Mark to give in, but Mark didn't ease off and so when the rather annoyed Vettel thought he had just got past and jinked over to show his displeasure he wasn't quite as far in front as he thought he was.
Ah, Dave beat me to it.
Definately explains why Hamilton looked a bit unhappy on the podium.
In other news, Webber has re-signed for an additional year at RedBull Racing for 2011.

More news on the Hamilton and Button incident but also news that Christian Horner lied about Webber asking the team to get Vettel to back off. He was asking about the engine settings for Vettel as he had a greater straight line speed than him.
It is quite clear that the move on Webber was a engineered to hand Vettel victory of the Turkish GP however Webber did not get the memo as his race engineer was "preoccuppied" to pass on the message.
As to the Button/Hamilton tussle - bit of a non-story but shows that there is still some element of team orders.
However the real story still is Red Bull trying to engineer a race victory over one driver (equal points in the championship) should be investigated by the FIA.
Vettel and Red Bull lost a lot of fans and even with evidence to the contrary, Vettel still believes he did not make an error. If Vettel wants wins handed to him fans will remember only that about him, much like a certain other overrated German driver that cheated when he couldn't get his way.

What a ridiculous qualifying! That was some tense stuff, really great.
Hamilton pulled out a stunner, out-qualifying both Red Bulls. Webber P2, Vettel P3, Alonso in P4, Button P5 and Liuzzi finally out-qualified Sutil, maybe putting to rest the rumours about him being replaced.
Schumi fell out in Q2, out-qualified by both Williams'.
Watching Hamilton jumping out and pushing his car was priceless!

Dammit! I missed it all because my mate blew up my PSU while gaming and I couldn't get power back in the house because I didn't have some shortcircuit breakerplugg thingy (dont know how you call it in english) so I had to go to the houseboss to see if he could fix power back into the house same way. Which he did but at that point I only saw Hamiton take pole
Bad day. No Quali and I had to spend 85 euro's on a new PSU
Luckily I think the BCC will probably show all the interesting parts of quali in their pre race show in about a hour or so 
The Casino is the building in the middle of the circuit.
Anyway, mildly burned, pretty tiring weekend for us but great seeing it live though. And I can't recommend Kangaroo TV enough.

Alonso was held up twice in traffic, once when he was leading and doing fast laps before pitting and later when Button overtook.
Still, a brilliant race. Schumacher drove like a hooligan, Kubica did a very dangerous move into the pit lane and Red Bull gambled on tyres and it didn't work (or, McLarens and Alonso gambled and it did work).
Hamilton drove very well and Red Bull must be so pissed at all their missed opportunities in the earlier races.
Next we have Valencia where Ferrari will presumably have a big update, so maybe Alonso can do some magic at home.
