Chad Stewarthill said:Just what are Mclaren or Red Bull supposed to do? for instance, Hamilton has consistently outqualified and outraced Button, so in what way is Jenson supposed to 'support' Lewis (other than try and take points off the opposition, which I presume he is trying to do anyway)?
The only practical way these teams can prioritise Webber or Hamilton is if Vettel or Button find themselves directly ahead of their respective teammates and therefore in a position to make a switch. At Mclaren at least, that doesn't look very likely at the moment.
FB said:Just a thought, are Red Bull in a Ferrari '99 type situation? When Schumie broke his leg at Silverstone Irvine suddenly found himself in a position to win the Championship but I never felt Ferrari wanted him to be the one to break the title drought. Schumie paid lip service to helping him but it was pretty obvious his heart wasn't in it.
Are Red Bull likely to scupper Webber's chances as it's not the bloke they want to win?
Brogan said:So if Vettel moves over for Webber at either of the next 2 races, will there be the same outcry as when Massa moved over for Alonso?
Presumably if Webber did win the WDC then it would also be undeserved, as people have said Alonso's will be if he wins it by less than 8 points.

If Webber wins 2 races then 2 seconds is not enough for Alonso.
Vettel is 25 points behind. One point less than Alonso in the next race and he is outta there. He's got too much to gain and no chance of doing it.
If Vettel finishes in Brazil first and Alonso third, Vettel still needs a miracle in Abu Dhabi.
teabagyokel said:Really, the ideal outcome is that Red Bull win the WCC, since they have the best car, and either Nando or Lewis win the WDC because they are better drivers.
Barring failures and mistakes, it's between Alonso and Webber.F1Yorkshire said:The championship is now a 3 horse race with Hamilton a rank outsider.
