Red Bull to reduce the use of team orders after Sebastian Vettel row

Sebastian Vettel: I may disobey Red Bull orders again

The Chinese Grand Prix - did you know?
The Shanghai International Circuit has been the location for the Chinese Grand Prix since its inception in 2004 and this year hosts the race for a tenth time. In preparation, we bring you some of the more noteworthy trivia about the event…

So Vettel said he might disregard team orders again if told to stay behind Webber. Interesting. But then he also said he has never had Webber's support when he was leading a race. Webber himself has been quoted as saying he wouldn't do anything to help Vettel.

Nothing wrong with a little competition between team mates, but this sounds like thinly veiled disrespect for each other. Rb better gat a handle on it before it spreads to the whole team, where people start to choose sides.

I can see doing something to help a team mate win, if you yourself have no chance of winning, but not at the cost of losing a position. These guys are RACE drivers, let them race. RB has said they will try to cut back on the "team order" stuff. Maybe RB itself has learned something here. People got race and others tune in to see a "race", not follow-the-leader.

The race is on NBCSN (220 on DirecTV) at 3 AM (pre-race stuff tarts at 2). Good thing the ol' DVR is still working!

No reason for team orders if they are not going to be followed!
