So Much For That Whole Teammates Thing in F1...

((HT: SkySports/F1))

Formula One Racing is known for its politicking, racers who drive in teams and tandem- and are forced to deal with office politics more than the average bear when it comes to getting the job done...

Happened again in the Malaysian Grand Prix today half a world away...

It looked like Team Red Bull was going to finish one-two with Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, but according to Vettel, no one told him that he was going to finish second. He passed Webber and finished first...

Much to the anger of everyone on both teams...

Here's the apologetic Vettel...


Here's an angry Webber...


"I made a big mistake today and we should have stayed in the position. I messed up in that situation and took the lead from Mark and can see now he is upset. Apologies to Mark. The result is there and all I can say is that I didn't do it deliberately."


Strangely enough the same thing happened to decide third and fourth with Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton was third and the team told Nico Rosburg not to pass- he didn't...

Thus guaranteeing Hamilton's first podium with his new teammates...
