I think that's fair enough if the playing field is level- however they'd both been told to turn their engines down had they not? But Vettel didn't.
If Webber had done what the team ordered and Vettel hadn't then yes, Vettel is going to go past- he's got the faster car.
That aside, would we have seen Vettel make that pass if he wasn't secure in the knowledge that Webber would only defend so far?
i.e. would he have hussled say Raikonen in the same manner, knowing that he'd have no issues at all with taking his nose cone off?
The thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that this is not competition, it's Vettel taking advantage of Webber- fine if Webber was allowed to fight back, or compete with Vettel but he's clearly not.
Also Webbers personal moral code clearly makes him the team player that Vettel is not.
Let Christian Horner tell Webber "yeah, knock him off the racetrack if you have to"...
