Thing is, it looks like Vettel has let his mask slip in public and now everyone can see him for the selfish, ruthless piece of s**t he is. If only Hamilton had been able to get closer to him earlier in the race and put some real pressure on him - I love it when he flaps when there's a car behind him.

Kudos to the Merc team though, and especially Rosberg who showed real maturity through this. Seems that if they had let him off the leash to pass Lewis, his car would have probably run out of gas before the end.

I can`t believe so many people follow a sport that is supposed to be a competetive race to the finnish and then make a fuss when somebody actually does, it seems all that matters is to show the sponsors logo, ban communications and go back to pit boards like the bikes and race properly on the tyres and fuel you started with.

Just my opinion

That's the problem Al - F1's slippery slope started in around 1968 when they began putting sponsors' logos on the cars (Gold Leaf Lotus kicked it all off).

Whilst the Drivers' championship brings in the glory, it's the constructors' c'ship which brings in the money. A team would much rather have a pair of cars cross the line high up in the points (obviously 1&2 being the perfect score) than one guy win and the other crash/DNF etc. This is what was going on at Malaysia.

Trouble is Vettel, whilst a very good driver, considers himself bigger than the team. Big mistake.
