If there were no limitations then the cars would be a hell of a lot faster and we'd be back to the previous era of no overtaking aside from the pitstops.
At the end of the day, Vettel is a Red Bull employee. He was told what to do, he ignored it. May as well have been one of the pit crew who said "Fuck it i'm not going to change this tyre". Rosberg was in the same situation, he was more mature, Brawn was more firm. Everything worked out fine.
I don't think anyone is denying that it was great racing, and it's not really got anything to do with whether we think team orders are good or not (for what it's worth, i'd rather see pure racing, but the team need secure points for their income in order to remain competitive. So I can respect their decision).
It's about Vettel thinking he's bigger than his employers.
