nice shot ! <| sep |> This is why ~~ continent bonuses ~~ Connery TR and NC suckFTFY <| sep |> Okay . I didn ' t realise you only started watching recently . The Malaysian GP in 2013 was so controversial that a I assumed that that ' s what you were talking about and b I didn ' t feel the need to put a year to it . It ' s 2013 . At the last pitstop , Mark Webber comes out ahead of his teammate , Sebastian Vettel . There is a Red Bull team rule that ' s been in place since at least 2009 that whoever is in the lead at this point takes the win in this case multi 21 because car 2 Webber is ahead of car 1 Vettel . multi 12 when car 1 is ahead . There ' s been a few instances over the preceding four seasons where one car has had a look up the inside of the other , but ultimately position has been maintained for a safe team victory allowing both cars to turn down their engine to preserve them . But the relationship between the teammates has been deteriorating , and Vettel feels aggrieved because he feels the team told him to hold back earlier in the race , without which he ' d be in front at this point . He turns up his engine and goes on the attack . His engineer Rocky tells him to stop . Christian Hrner comes in the radio and tells him not to be silly . They fight for around a lap and Vettel overtakes to take the win . Webber is furious . The world is furious . They boo Vettel on the podium . Lewis Hamilton finishes third , but only after his faster teammate , Rosberg , is told to hold station behind him . Rosberg obeys team orders , and the harmonious Mercedes pair unwittingly become a comparison to Red Bull ' s driver infighting for every journalist in the land despite Hamilton saying publicly that he didn ' t deserve the podium , Nico did . Vettel in the immediate aftermath acts shamed but by the next race in China has become adamant that he did not act incorrectly it later emerges that the two drivers had a meeting at the start of China that went terribly . Vettel ' s lawyers get involved to preempt the team exacting any retribution on Vettel . Vettel is booed at a majority if the podiums he attends throughout the year . And trust me , that ' s a lot of podiums . But from 2014 , Red Bill dominance ended . There ' s no championship on the line for either driver or team . With so little at stake , they ' ve let their drivers race it out when the opportunity presents itself , giving them a much better platform to criticise Mercedes from . So when you hear Webber doing podiums joking about a multi 333 , or when you hear Mercedes responding to Red Bull criticism by saying that at least they let their championship contenders race , or when you hear commentators wondering if Red Bull will let their drivers race from the lead , that ' s what they ' re talking about .
