And then what?

Maybe they'll fire Webber and Vettel!

Maybe they will understand better what their fans do and don't want to see in a driver.
I guess people shouldn't speak their minds on how they feel about how companies behave?

What a silly over reaction of a response.

I'm pretty sure they don't need you to tell them this. From what I can tell, the whole experience has left everybody sour.

I'm pretty sure they should have it re-enforced from their fan base...

In the entertainment business, no one cares how you feel when you watch, only that you watch.

Last I understood Red Bull sold drinks.... Certainly something I can vote with my money on.

Just like the bitter taste of Red Bull (which won't be purchased ever again). Although I should know better and that I should expect nothing less - I'm still disgusted. I'm disgusted because I have no idea if the best driver/car won. Mark must be kicking himself for not signing with Ferrari - and taking all the tech IP with him. Not only is Mark a clear number 2 - it's also plainly clear that Dietrich Mateschitz is a liar.

Would you have known if the best driver/car had won if Vettel obeyed the team order?

Last I understood you were talking about Vettel and Webber as part of Red Bull Racing. But oh god! Maybe after all those anger from the fans they will remove Vettel from the Red Bull 4 and 8 packs! :shock:

Exactly. We'll never know. That opportunity was stolen from us when Mark turned his engine down and coasted while Vettel didn't. I get team orders, really I do, and I agree with them in most instances, especially when a WDC is on the line, but we're two races in for goodness sakes. Trying to figure out which is the best car on this tyre/fuel conservation trip the FIA is on is hard enough, but to then try and second guess results when team orders come into play - makes an already difficult sport to follow - impossible. Imagine a newcomer watching for the first time trying to work this out...... no wonder people are turning off.

A second thought - would betting on results come under scrutiny if team orders are issued - changing the result to suit the whim of someone who had placed a large bet?

Ahhh, I originally misread it. I agree with you 100%. This was was particularly boring in the second half because of it. If this was the first race I saw, I doubt I'd tune in again.

That isnt a opinion, it is a fact. Have you ever seen any company chance things after a few mails about how things were so wrong? I have not.

The only time I have ever seen things change was after an outcry of hatred that went on for months, and after that it even was a half arsed change.

So no, it doesnt change anything
