Bring Back V10s: Turkey 2010 - The dramatic fallout from big Vettel/Webber clash

Well, the collision between Seb Vettel and Weber still stands out, an iconic F1 moment.

But also with this V10 thing, I always like going back through my hard drive photos at home just to see what happened this weekend because sometimes you do so many races and you can't remember various moments.

And quite a fun one that one of the best photos of Turkey 2010 was Ed Straw climbing out of a hire car on a ferry, trying to get from the passenger side out through the driver's side because there wasn't a big enough gap for him to climb out of the car.

Yeah, but you have to put this in the context of that Red Bull wasn't necessarily a divided team, but there were definitely factions involved.

Well, I mean, Turkey blew into the open.

Yeah.

But those the kind of the factions and the team Vettel camp and team Weber camp were clearly inside that team.

And off the back of Mark's victories, it was clear that whichever whoever was on team Vettel wasn't happy and needed to justify things and push things on.

And I think with chassis changes, often a lot of it is to do with the driver's head.

The Race F1 Podcast

We see this even up to F1 today.

You'll see drivers complain about chassis.

The Race F1 Podcast

Teams will either tell them it's changed or will have found nothing wrong.

And they'll say, oh, it feels completely different.

The Race F1 Podcast

So there was an element of that.

The Race F1 Podcast
Bring Back V10s: Turkey 2010 - The dramatic fallout from big Vettel/Webber clash

So you can understand if you're Team Vettel and you're trying to...

explain things to him, keep him happy, push him on, put him into the right place.

The Race F1 Podcast

You will have done anything you can to have given Seb the benefit of the doubt and get him into a happy place, at least until qualifying when there was another problem.

The Race F1 Podcast

Yeah, it's how a team views it, because you can be forceful and it can trigger pushback.

The Race F1 Podcast

And why are we being told what to do by a driver who doesn't do anything?

The Race F1 Podcast

But equally, if the driver is as strong as Kubica was, pushed on, delivered the results, and even when he delivered, wanted more and pushed on more, then I think that empowers him.
