The return of the winning “finger” is inevitable

After a few seasons of relatively dominant races by Red Bull and Sebastian Vettl, many have been relieved this year. The Red Bulls already found themselves in trouble during the winter tests, as they drove only about a third of the laps as the Mercedes team did. Opponents of Vettl's "finger" felt additional relief and indulgence in the first race, and in the next three they probably watched in ecstasy the continuation of the problems of the team from Milton Keynes. Where did the current champions get stuck? The answer to that question is complicated, as it’s not just about what broke Red Bull, but also about what was going on at Mercedes and Renault.

Who did the right thing? “Right” is such a relative term that it’s hard to judge. Everyone will do it for themselves, according to their morals, principles and fan connections. From a moral and sporting point of view, Mark Webber definitely deserved the victory in Malaysia, as he was even better than Vettl in the race, and he managed to overtake him only when the Australian limited the revolutions of his engine so as not to wear it unnecessarily, as will still have to drive with him this year. But if you want to succeed in Formula One, you have to do your best. One of the more controversial d
