I am over the moon for Williams though!

brilliant drive by lewis considering his position, also to keep those tyres going for 30ish laps to put him into the points was a good move by mclaren. great win for williams too!

An absolute joke of a sport.

I'm done with it.

The only way to stop team orders is to have one driver per team, never gonna happen.

Why can't they just ban team orders?

I can't be arsed with F1 anymore. Spending 3 hours watching a race only for the result to be manipulated. Or for the winner to apologise for not manipulating the result!

There are no team orders really in Moto GP. Check out this below from 2009. Two team mates, both going for the title. Last lap. This is proper sport.

Do bookies take bets on who will win a race? Seems farcical if they do and that goes on..

I love it more than any other support. Roll on the British GP Will be sat at Luffield

It was an awesome GP today...

Fact is we now have team orders as much as I don't want them...

Vettel is a c**t and it showed today. Totally out of order.

Rosberg on the other hand came out of today with a lot of class. I truly hope Brawn was being honest when he said they would of done it if the situation was reversed. Time will tell I suppose.

Totally marred what should of been a great win for Webber and a first podium for Hamilton.

I think both teams where right to order both drivers to back off. Race 2 and a lot of good points to bring home.

Shows how much you know... That or you haven't been recently...

The end of the wellington straight into Brookland corner is one of the few over taking spots at Silverstone and its clearly visible from Luffield....

I get a three day grandstand ticket every year and I can sit in any stand on the Friday and Saturday and I have sat in every stand and its deo the best stand on a race day.

Lets not over do this. The reality is all the drivers where allowed to race very hard for over 3/4 of the race.

[Kowalski]

Whos over doing anything? Been a fan my entire life. Tolerated team orders in the past as isolated incidents. I understand the reasons though but we're losing the "sport" element. The Massa "Fernando is faster than you" incident in Germany a couple of years ago really pissed me off and turned what should've been a truly great sporting moment into a really sour tasting incident. Especially after Massa's injury. Coming back, with a metal plate in his head, to win his first GP since his comeback. The guy nearly died racing for Ferrari and then hes asked to move aside? Nah. Not having that.

Its gone beyond the acceptable level for me now. 3 hours ruined. They should just 100% make it a team sport really. At least we know what we're getting in that case.

Farcical decision trying to implement team orders in the second race of the year.

[hot_ice]

i think its the fear of what happened in 2010 turkish GP, and like some of said, its early in the season its better just bank the points? think Vettel is out of order, but then again, hes paid to win races...

Be intersting to see what they do with Vettel, he may have been right in thinking it was daft but openly ignoring such requests is likely to cause serious issues within the team.

Can anyone shed some light as to why he was told to stay behind Webber?

[hot_ice]

basically to save the engines and gear box etc etc from unnecessary action... they were never going to be catched by the mercedes,

[The Nal]

What if Vettel and Webber had hit each other and threw away 43 points ? Its

so hard to pull those points back...

[Kyelo]

...Vettel... hes paid to win races...
