Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2012, Yas Marina - Race 18/20

:confused: No? It was intentional not convenient...team orders are legal

Shortly after the don't fight him radio message too.

I know that team orders are legal, but given that webber said he wouldn't move over for anyone - he probably would have ignored the 'don't fight' message too.

Telling him to pit on the other hand... probably wouldn't ignore that.
 
He started from the back of the grid, after the SC pulled off.

That's better than losing 20 seconds on a pitstop and having to close an existing 25 second gap. I'd take losing 10 places if I gain 45-9= 36 seconds.
 
Vettel will lose a few places, those tyres are so much faster, which is why he's closed up. But 42 laps on them not going to get him 1st or 2nd, especially as now the others have stopped they are closing him down.

Still a fantastic drive, even if he losses am couple of places.
