I'm struggling to post sensibly here- I admit that this is because I'm an Aussie and I wholeheartedly support Webber. Vettel comes across to me as an arrogant little kid who thinks success and fame will come to him. Then there's Webber, who has had to work bloody hard in 5 years of Formula 1 to achieve only two podiums.
Now, to Vettel, this race won't mean much. He's 19 or whatever so one mistake at this age, in a wet race with poor visibility (which I'm sure he's going to blame when he's interviewed about the accident) won't make him seem like a kid who can't handle the pressure (another excuse is that a double world champ also spun out). For sure, Vettel will be disappointed about not finishing what could have been third, but I bet he knows that more opportunities will come to him.
But for Webber, this will be gutwrenching. He has worked hard for 5 years, and the one time he looks like he could win a Grand Prix, some 19 year old with nothing to lose hits him in the back. What motivation does that give him to keep going? Even he must be feeling pretty down after something like this.
So call it bias, but I have lost a lot of respect for Vettel after this race...
