At first, I was irritated that Vettel passed Weber in Malaysia when Red Bull had the race and two podiums entirely in hand. But then I realized what had really happened: Horner was telling a great racer not to race. That's like telling my cat not to kill mice and bring them home. It's counter to his DNA.
Vettel knew that he could pass Weber against team orders and no one could do anything about it. What are Red Bull going to do? Fire him? Fine him? Tell his Mommy?
If the situation arises again, he'll do it again. More likely, Horner will keep mum to avoid the confrontation that he cannot win.
I'm not sure I like it, but it is reality.
You fellows on this forum always have interesting insights (especially when you disagree with me). I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this one.
