Nico handled his situation with class. He challenged the team, and respected the decision. He’s no peddler. #F1

Vettel was told “This is silly, Seb, come on” by Horner. Webber told: “OK, Mark, he was told.” #F1 — F1 Fanatic Live (@f1fanaticlive) March 24, 2013

Apparently Seb ignored team instructions to hold station ‘by mistake’. Think we might need to review his definition of the word ‘mistake’… — Kate Walker (@F1Kate) March 24, 2013

Vettel is not sorry for what he did, he’s sorry it looks bad. Don’t want to lose his “media darling” status

Can’t believe how many on here defend Vettel and say he had the right to go past Webber.I think he is a disgrace,doing that to his teammate. — Didi Hamann (@DietmarHamann) March 24, 2013

Webber: “Seb made his own decision today and will be protected as usual.” Boom!

No no Seb, you have to do it yourself. You’re not in a Ferrari — Paul Boynton (@Swordsman_uk) March 24, 2013

Vettel now very contrite but if it gives him 4th title in November no-one will care and many will hail his champion’s mind.

So what did we learn today? That behind the smiles & the humour, Vettel is calculated and ruthless. And that’s why he’s a triple champion. — Will Buxton (@willbuxton) March 24, 2013
