Could make for some interesting races! I wonder if he can do a Schumi or a Keke and pull off some fun race-aiding moves, if he really is that good... wink

I don't believe it for a minute. He is still going to try and win.

If Webber can catch Vettel, he may let him past. The thing is - Webber won't be able to catch Vettel.

He probably means he will win the races to stop Button/ Hamilton and Alonso winning and scoring too many points.

Odd thing is Webber has had the most fastest laps.

Absolutely. Vettel is all about the record books. A win is a win and bonus money helps!

Webber won't want to be gifted any wins. A win must be earned.

I reckon he will help and at least donate a win to MW, should MW find himself in 2nd place.

Vettel is a good sound guy as a person so he now has the chance to be it on track by helping out, besides which it would appear to be a team order.

Anyone who believes a racing driver would be willing to let another driver win, doesn't understand racing drivers.

Barrichello, Massa, Hakkinen, Coulthard and Schumacher etc seemingly don't understand racing drivers.

They were issued team orders to help secure championships. RBR have already wrapped up both so the situation is different.

Webber should feel insulted if Vettel gifted him a win but I dont think Seb ever would anyway.

You can add Senna to that list too- Suzuka 1991.

It was the same with Prost. They have to keep posting fastest laps to keep up.
