If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

Well that was fun. Absolute aggression from Mark and Seb when they went ape on each other.
Very entertaining.
Well it is Group C in a way, because they have a finite amount of fuel, but anyway. The thing is while it is a team sport the champion the people remember is the one for the driver's championship and the car he drove, not the manufacturer's championship hence why Red Bull would've preferred Vettel in front and Mercedes Hamilton in front, because despite being slower today they have more theoretical chances of winning the championship at the end of the year.
This is also why Alonso got a better strategy than Massa in Australia, even though Massa had been faster than him all weekend.

Visca Catalunya!
I like how RBR is all "angry" at Seb for not following order to hold station, and Ham said he'll consider repaying Rosberg...
Talk is cheap, actually doing something about it is another story....

So did Alonso ignore a team order to come into the pitbox or did Ferrari just let him decide on that one? Really embarrassing for the driver and the team either way to let that one slip.
The plan was to stay out until the track had dried up enough to put the slicks and change the broken nose so that they'd only have stop once.
If it had paid out perhaps Alonso would've been in contention for a podium finish or even maybe a fight for the win. But it didn't.
In terms of blame, well I think it's shared this time. First Alonso's fault for crashing into Vettel in turn 2, then the team's for taking the gamble described in the first paragraph.

^ Yeah, still getting used to NBC Sports covering F1
And lol at Webber to Vettel on the intercom: "This is silly, sir. Come on."

So far NBC has not been that different to SPEED. Same cast and crew, same amount of commercial, and same pre and post race coverage. Supposedly though they'll have some special programming like what they have for Indy car, where they follow a driver around for a race weekend...

Oh, okay. I obviously misinterpreted that.

Sniff Petrol has very handily deciphered Red Bull's multi codes for us.
Life's too short to drive bad cars.
