Webber at Brazil 2012: oKvQ112a0eo There is a 5th interpretation, Webber was being sarcastic. The fact that the engineer follows up Mark's response directly with "Let Sebastian go please Mark" makes it very hard to believe that it is not a team order to let Vettel pass.

Re: Rate the 2016 Australian GP

What exactly was wrong with the old system where the pole usually came down to the closing seconds? I'm glad I DVR'd it and didn't lose any sleep over it. I'm surprised that no one asked about it during the press conference but maybe they were asked not to.

Or even Rosberg/Hamilton/Alonso I can't see that happening. More than likely, there would be at least one seat filler with team orders deciding who will win.
