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!

Ooops! My bad: NBCSN coverage starts at 2:30 AM, not 2.

These guys are one component in a multimillion dollar racing enterprise.

One mistake between teammates, as we’ve seen before, will cost the team millions of dollars.

I appreciate competition, but I reject arrogance. Still, you can’t race at that level without arrogance...

I read today that Button wondered why they would be issuing team orders so early in the season. A good point.

So far, an interesting season, no?

Oh, and any idea if Varsha will be leading the broadcast team? The other guy is AN IDIOT!!!
