Hi Marc,
I politely disagree and by all accounts, Vettel himself would disagree as well.
The indications are that the opportunity for the tussle between the two of them
only came up because Webber had turned the engine down, as instructed by the
team which gave Vettel the chance to catch him.
They would have been happy then for Vettel to just cover his rear and they
would have increased the pace if the Mercedes had become a threat.
So faced with the same situation, what is one to do? You have a significant lead
over your team mate which parameters indicate you are only likey to increase,
you are told the race is yours and that you should both back off the pace.
You slow and let your let team mate cover your rear.
Next moment, you find he is wanting to race you, despite what you have been
both instructed to do by the people that write your pay cheques.

Well then the deed is done and by the sound of it in your explanations then Vettel has it all wrong. Do you have a live feed to red bull's racing team as well?

Only wish I did
But you can read more of the Vettel interview here on the F1 site in the article "Sebastian Vettel Q&A: I shouldn't have passed Mark".

It will be clearly controversial this season, but as you have noted, the history of
F1 is chequered by such dramas.
