Don't just hope it'll sort itself out.

You want to control the situation.

That's what everyone seems to try and do.

But as John's explained, those are really difficult and volatile situations to contain.

The most important thing is to react well to it.

And that's again where the Marco problem comes in because he said what he said and just fanned the flames.

And it's one of those ones where there's that imminent threat of rain that never quite manifests itself.

Yeah, he was absolutely right.

And also longer term, it was just the right place to be, wasn't it?

And he almost won that year's championship.

So, yeah, there's nothing whatsoever wrong with doing that.

What would he have achieved by flouncing off somewhere?

So completely pragmatic.

It's the team to be at.

You're working with Adrian Newey, Red Bull team in its first glory era and early in it.

There's still great peaks to come.

So yeah, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that decision.

I think it certainly became too much of a focal point.

I remember being told, I can't remember the exact timeline of this, whether it was around this time or a bit later, but I remember being told that on Weber's side, they'd start flagging up things where I think Vettel had gone to an appearance and not had the right team shoes on or something.

So it became a little bit too much of a focal point.
