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...

((HT: KXAN-TV Austin))
There was a certain amount of gamesmanship- like every other race in Formula One- that included the intentional breaking of an engine seal to make sure that Fernando Alonso started from the preferred groove...
Which he praised his teammates for...
Ya'see...
Alonso is second in the points race behind Sebastian Vettel and the intentional move by his Ferrari teammates pushed Felipe Massa back (he was 7th in points going in). And over the last 20 laps or so, Lewis Hamilton set up Vettel for a pass and would get the win at a track he really liked out of the box...
Ferrari Team Principal Stefano Domenicali wasn't apologizing...
