British Grand Prix winner Mark Webber described his impressive victory as "an appointment with karma" after Red Bull Racing's management had once again shown favoritism towards team mate Sebastian Vettel. As he took the chequered flag, Webber radioed his boss, Christian Horner, saying "Not bad for a number two driver". It was a barb every bit as sharp and aggressive as the move he put on pole-sitter Seb through Turn 1.
Red Bull had developed a new front wing for Silverstone, and had manufactured only two. One of these was wrecked when Vettel hit a bump in practice and the wing detached. Horner made the controversial decision that, based on the championship standings - Vettel started the weekend with 12 points more than Webber - the remaining wing should be detached from the Australian's car and given to Vettel for qualifying and the race.
It comes five weeks after the pair collided in Turkey. Webber was immediately blamed by the team's management, before video replays proved it was Vettel that was at fault.
It is believed the new wing was worth around a tenth of a second. Vettel's qualifying time was 0.14 seconds faster than Webber's.
Horner described Mark's post-race comments as "throwaway" and said he'd make the same decision again, but team sources told me that Mark was seething on Saturday and vowed that he would not yield to Vettel at Turn 1. There were going to be fireworks.
On his way to the starting grid, Mark told the BBC "I want to do the best for the guys on MY car," underlining he feels the garage is divided. Having won the race, Webber requested one of his own crew accept the constructors' trophy on the podium. That request was refused by Horner. "That's not up to Mark", he said, and bestowed the honour to Head of Aerodynamics Peter Prodromou.
"I'm sure we'll have some decent chats tomorrow," said Webber, when the team goes back over the events of the last few days at their nearby Milton Keynes base. "Honestly, I wouldn't have signed a contract had I thought this was the way going forward".
He believes that, should a similar situation arise at the Hockenheimring in a fortnight, as points leader he will receive any preferential parts. Webber now sits on 128 points - seven more than his team mate. He has three wins this season to Vettel's two.

I began smoking while I was just a kid. That was basically the most terrible mistake I've made. Today I am 45 years old and I've got lung disease. Whilst attempting to kick the habit, I heard about the e-cigarette and will see how it works. With luck, it'll help me with this particular annoying habit.
While attempting to quit smoking, I found the electric cigarette. The e cigarettes uses a nicotine mixture which holds only nicotine. No cancerous substances all that. They've literally saved my life. No longer inhaling cancerous substances feels very good to me!
Awesome Post
