Maybe, just maybe, Vettel will let Webber win in Brasil? Why? Because he wants to get back on the good side of the fans, you know, the same people that he said he didn't care about post Malaysia. Only to then say he was hurt by all the booing he received by the fans since Malaysia.

For all the assistance he has given him as a team mate? I do notice that Webber has been far more polite about Seb over the last few races though. |

I would be nice if Webber won one of the last races, but only if he earned it. Like: put the car on pole by a narrow margin, and just lead start to finish.
But I doubt that will happen. I think * Vettel will not let Webber win deliberately. * Vettel will only let Webber win if told by his bosses * Marko and Horner won't tell Vettel to let Webber win, Mateschitz might? * Webber will not accept a given victory if it is too obvious * Vettel won't let Webber win (in case he has to) unless he can make it an obvious gift * there will not be 2 happy Red Bull drivers on the podium in Sao Paulo |

I don't see Vettel letting Webber win, not one bit. I think even given team orders while leading a GP he wouldn't let him by for a win. What is anyone at RBR going to do if he doesn't follow team orders? Fire him? Nope.
I think the current RedBull car is designed and developed around Vettel, Vettel is in his prime, I don't see Webber beating him on the track without some sort of mechanical problem on Vettel's car. |

i dont see much reason for RB to issue that kind of order and risk alienating SV or risk exposing him to the public criticism of not following orders when he inevitably ignores it.
if anything if MW is ahead i would suspect RB giving him an order to let Seb past...at which point i expect MW would tell them where to stick that order. |

The only possible way I can see Vettel giving Webber a win is if he decides that he did something wrong in disobeying the original team order not to pass Webber. The next problem is that Webber actually needs to get himself into second position before Vettel could let him through for the win. I really don't think that Vettel owes Webber anything, and I believe that the bad blood was brought to RBR by Webber trying to play mind games with Vettel, the bad relationship is largely of Webber's own making! If Webber had behaved like he is now there wouldn't have been a problem in the first place! |

I can still clearly remember an interview with Webber after it was announced that Vettel would be joining RBR where Vettel was constantly called "the boy" by Webber. It grated on my nerves then, and I thought then that it was no way to establish a good relationship with a team mate! It clearly wasn't! Then Vettel was faster, game on! |

If the RBR retire and Heikki wins the race, then I will convert to Buddism.

It won't happen now. RBR wanted Vettel to get 8 in a row and why not push for 9?

I don't think it was ever going to happen. RBR wanted Vettel to get 8 in a row and why not push for 9?
