Turkey Grand Prix 2010, Istanbul Park - Race 7/19

Webber should have given the racing line to Vettle especially with him being a team mate as he was clearly ahead of Webber at the time. If it was another team then fair enough but Vettle was clearly faster and in front.

Why, webber was holding his ground, vettle got angry and swerved, it wasn't even a gentle turn.

Webber should have given him the line though. He should not have defended his position against Vettle once Vettle got in front. If it was anybody else then fair enough.

Not at all, they are still racing, there was no need for vettle to turn. Just look at button and lewis being ahead in part of a corner means nothing.
There was simply no reason for vettle to turn in

watch the replay, once people have seen the in car footage they all changed to vettles fault.

try, doesn't mean they have to be forced. Just like msc trying to force Button out the way. Button held his ground and MSC had no choice but to pull out. Exactly like Vettle should have done.
 
but you also have to break and wrestle the car about more, due to turbulence. I would expect fuel to be higher consumption when battling, than driving out in front on your own, just driving smoothly.
They haven't had problems in other races.

It shows how marginal they are running these cars for weight now when they have so many fuel save modes rather than wringing the cars not expecting to be racing at such a high pace. It's no wonder so few mistakes have been made this year if they are no longer full out full pace racing. There's something wrong if your not go full pelt after 17 laps.

It's what's going to happen. It is a rubbish system.
No refuelling is fine, but in that case you need to re-allow engine development so they can make more efficient engines for the new style of racing. Although they haven't had a problem in other races, so perhaps it was just team orders.

Formula 1 - 2010 - The Turkish Grand Prix
Coverage of the Turkish Grand Prix, presented by Jake Humphrey. Felipe Massa has won three of the five races held at the Istanbul Park circuit, but he has struggled to find his best form since returning from a head injury. A fourth win would certainly ease the pressure on the Brazilian, whose place at Ferrari could be under threat. Jenson Button won last year's race after an early error from pole-sitter Sebastian Vettel, and the world champion could again be the man to beat. However, fellow Briton Lewis Hamilton, who has yet to win in Turkey, will not want to be left in the shade by his McLaren team-mate.

yep as webber says they were no where near the braking point. Vettle was just being stupid and throwing his toys out the pram. he had enough distance to pull ahead then move across. or try and take the corner wrong. he certainly should not of pulled over.
