Agreed. I know Mark Webber's had more than his fair share of reliability problems... but I don't for a moment believe that there's anything deliberate behind this.
So... who reckons that if Mr Raikonnen moves to RBR, that his car suffers the same reliability issues Mr Webber's has had?
And how would Mr Raikonnen handle it? Not well I suspect...
Let's just ignore the bulletproof reliability Webber had in 2010 and the fact that Vettel's car let him down three times while leading races that season.

And Vettel still won the championship!
Oh come on now, lets not allow facts to get in the way.
"The rift with the Swiss team, believed to have been brought about not only by lack of competitiveness in recent years but also capped by Sauber's preference for Kimi Raikkonen over Red Bull-supported Enrique Bernoldi in the 2001 driver line-up, has been one of the ongoing stories of the season. Red Bull now plans to further its relationship with Arrows, for whom Bernoldi drove in 2001."

A torrential afternoon practice session in Watkins Glen saw Villeneuve out-qualify everyone. By 11 seconds.Scheckter stated: "I scared myself rigid that day, I thought I had to be quickest. Then I saw Gilles's time and - I still don't really understand how it was possible. Eleven seconds !"

Irony?
Practicality. Tipping money into a team doesn't give you control to run things the way you want so you buy a team (Two of them!) to get control of your own destiny... and do it your way...
