Vettel clicked with Pirelli tyres and Webber didn't, they were very closely matched until 2011. Without any big change coming in anytime soon like the switch to Pirelli, you have to assume Hamilton/Rosberg will be as close as they have been more or less every year they are team mates. Had nothing to do with the tyres it was the EBD that made Vettel unstoppable. That wouldn't fully explain the sudden difference given Seb was just as much quicker than Mark when they got rid of EBD Nope, he wasn't. It was when RB decided to change the car to Seb's liking in Singapore 2012 when he was miles ahead of Webber again. Up until Hungary that year, Mark and Seb were very close, certainly a lot closer than in 2011 and 2013. Vettel has always been good at Sin/Jap/Kor/Ind races near the end of the season. Webber has some bad luck near the end but his qualifying results from Singapore onwards are much better and more consistent than the first half of the season, so the idea that the car didn't suit him anymore doesn't add up. His pace was still there, Vettel just did a better job on Sunday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regs were a lot more restrictive at the end of 2011 though and it didn't have anywhere near as much effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

APR193 0 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 There was never going to be a penalty though really, one weeks wages cut or something was always going to be the maximum that happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chadwick8505 0 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Seriously what were they ever going to do? No team is going to do anything after something like this happened. It's not some big conspiracy it just makes no sense to take any action other than a scolding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JensonBottom 1 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Again another management fail from Mercedes. Were saying they were going to give more than a slap on the wrist to Rosberg and then only slap him on the wrist. :L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
