Vettel apparently said in the press conference that he wasn't happy, but wasn't going to say why.

I think we can guess... Ferrari didn't shaft Raikkonen as per normal.

When Vettel was told over the radio that Kimi was P1 and Vettel said "we'll speak later", I'm guessing he means he expects Ferrari to instruct Kimi to let him pass in the race tomorrow.

I’d imagine he’s upset that Kimi got the benefit of the tow, which he wanted?

No other reason that I can think of as he was beaten fair and square by a man in the same car.
 
Vettel got a tow from Lewis didn't he? you'd have expected Hamilton to be faster based on Q2 times so he was the better driver to slipstream without hindsight. IMO Vettel probably chose to be behind Hamilton but drivers always seem to have excuses when they don't perform well these days and they make sure to broadcast it over the radio so everybody knows. I think it's just Vettel being butthurt that Raikkonen stole his thunder with the fastest lap.
 
I hope Kimi or if not him Hamilton wins. Anyone but Vettel. Of course Kimi won’t be allowed to. Ferrari are going to take a lot of backlash if they aren’t careful, Kimi is clearly the crowd favourite.
 
It makes no sense not to put team orders in place here if the Ferrari's are leading the race, same would make sense in mercedes situation.
 
I thought Lewis had it but the ferraris were quick again

As for vettell . Il speak later about this. He had as good a chance behind lewis as Kimi did behind him. One only hopes for a first corner Ferrari knockout I think I would rather start second at spa and this race isnt to disimular
 
Knowing Ferrari it wouldn't surprise me if Kimi was under orders not to beat Vettel to P1, the Monza lap record is pretty special for Ferrari and I'm sure they'd have preferred Vettel to hold it going forward rather than Kimi.
 
I was surprised in the last run they let Vettel out of the garage first giving kimi the tow.

Happy for kimi though as I prefer him to Vettel, just hope that Kimi still has a drive next year.
 
Magnussen on Alonso...

“Obviously he got a perfect slipstream, thought he could overtake into turn one but I’d rather hang myself [than let him].”

“He thought he could have the perfect slipstream and overtake again,” he added. “I don’t know how many tenths but you gain a lot if you do that.

“But I’m not going to let him past me and sacrifice my own lap. No way. I know he thinks he’s God but no way.”

Both drivers’ laps were spoiled as they exchanged positions at the first chicane. The stewards decided to take no action over the incident.

Alonso “came to me after qualifying and laughed to my face”, Magnussen added. “Just outright disrespectful. I can’t wait for him to retire.”

It was Kimi's turn to go second. Every weekend they change - next circuit Sebastian will go second, the circuit after that, again Kimi.

Let's say there is no sabotage/conspiracy here...

I see nothing wrong in Kimi to win it, but the system just pushes for team orders, 25 points vs only 18, just too large difference. 18 vs 15 nothing...
 
T1 has pile up written all over this.

Ferrari’s are going to be fast off the line and Hamilton will be getting a nice tow. If someone locks up, I can see a dive down the inside ending in tears for any of the top 3.

Yeah it really does. Might put a couple of bets on for driver leading the first lap
