The points race is shaping up to be amazing!
I looked at a couple of scenarios:
Vettel 1st, Webber 2nd, Alonso 5th means a three way points tie at 256. I think Alonso has the most race wins and would therefore win.
So my question is this: If the results came down to this, would Vettel give up the race victory, and let Webber pass him so Webber would win the World Championship?
I think he would.
I am still unclear if the is or isn't a rule on Team Orders. What I have read doesn't clear it up.
Which also raises a second question. Should Red Bull have used team orders and ordered Vettel to let Webber win in Brazil? Webber would have only been one point behind Alonso heading into the last round, and would have had a much greater chance of winning heading into Abu Dhabi. Vettel would have been left mathmatically alive, but like Hamilton, a looooong shot.
