Max Mosley, Former FIA president supported Vettel, regarding the accident that took place during the Turkish Grand Prix last weekend. Sebastian Vettel had tried to overtake his teammate Mark Webber, but this try ended up in a collision of the two.

"From my perspective, I do not think that Sebastian Vettel should be given the blame for the collision. He at that stage had the right and duty to overtake Webber." Mosley told Motorsport Magazin.

From our point of view, Sebastian Vettel was on the left side of the track, and Mark Webber knew that he had to move to the right in order to have a chance of braking properly. He gave no room to his young teammate, although he knew he was faster than him, with the two McLarens chasing both of them closely.

In addition to that, Red Bull Racing, revealed after the race that the Australian driver had asked his team to order Vettel to stay behind him for protection against the McLarens. His team answered that Vettel was faster and the McLarens were closing up.

So what was Webber thinking? That someone owned him something? That his team was obligated to try to hold him up front by risking the whole race? He could play as a team member, let Vettel pass him, since he was quicker, and try to race against the McLarens himself. We had to add here that Vettel had clearly more chances of winning the race, and with Vettel in front the team would have the best chances of scoring more points. Instead, Webber played it tough, and tried to prove something that only he knows what it is.

The result we all know....

So the question is : Should there be a team spirit within an F1 racing team?

We believe yes, but only to the point that it does not destroy the excitement of a race. We believe that teammates should attack eachother when possible, and fight for the position. This is racing after all. The fastest man on track should win, and noone should stay behind because "this is how things are". This includes coded orders (McLaren - Button) like "save fuel", which translates into "stay back, this is the boy's race".

We are sorry that we had to watch these things during the last grand prix, and we would really like to think that such things and "orders" will not happen again. But the truth is that we can not be too optimistic about this.
