f1 season concludes sunday - can webber do it?

There's been a lot of noise from the Red Bull team about how they let their drivers battle it out on the track. The problem here is that one of the drivers is the young Vettel who is a little too impatient and exuberant to diligently uphold the team's mantra. If the team is so hell bent on letting their drivers race without any clear instructions, then why did the Redbull team throw a tantrum when Vettel tangled with the leading Webber who was relegated to 3rd after the incident, whilst the naughty but team favourite, Vettel, walked back to the pits?

This is a team sport, where setting up a team season is in the 100s of millions of dollars - is it worth risking not winning the driver's world championship for the sake of some free for all, argy bargy, push you into the wall racing? And last week end you had Webber come second while Vettel won the race, so as it is, Webber is still behind Alonso and Vettel even more so. Red Bull have taken on a big gamble - if it pays off and they win the driver's championship they will then really be the superstars they have aimed to be. But if they walk away without the driver's title, then it would go down as one of the biggest 'throw aways' ever known in the history of the sport. They have had the best car - by a long shot, and yet Alonso is leading. Every other team just nods their heads in absolute dismay knowing of what they would have achieved had they had access to the same machinery as the Red Bull team.

Red Bull must win the driver's championship, if not then Alonso and Ferrari will have pulled off the the miracle of the century by taking the title.
