www.carracingf1.com predicts a win for Sebastian Vettel in the Formula 1 Webber vs Vettel race for crown. The first four races of the 19-race season have been completed. Vettel is leading the table with 77 points. His Red Bull team mate Mark Webber is at the fourth position, having scored 32 points.

Intra-Team Rivalry

The relationship between the teammates became sour after Vettel defied the team orders and overtook Webber to win the Malaysian Grand Prix. After the incident, there has been considerable speculation about the future of these two competitors staying as teammates. Media focus on the ego-laden rivalry between these two racers has intensified.

According to the predictor at www.carracingf1.com, Vettel has already stolen a march over his team mate. The spokesperson of the company says: “While a 45-point lead is not too large a deficit to overcome over the course of 15 races, Webber does not look likely to do so. F1 is all about momentum. At the moment, Vettel seems to possess that.”

Psychological Edge

The prediction is based on the fact that Vettel emerged out of the controversy stronger. It is very rare in Formula One for a player to defy team orders. Even if somebody dares to do so, he is likely to fall in the pecking order of the team. However, after the Sepang fiasco, Vettel incredibly managed to improve his standing in the team. He acts like his own boss and is looking increasingly like a world champion. He does have the psychological edge of a man who has defied the world and still succeeded.

Webber, on the other hand, does not look to be in top form. He is ignoring the public jibes that Vettel sporadically makes at him in the media. He would be longing for a win that can improve his mental make-up. On current form, it does not look like happening. He is likely to figure in the losing side of the Formula 1 Webber vs. Vettel race.

Team Support

In Formula One, it is all about winning. Team support tends to gravitate towards the winner. Red Bull Racing-Renault cannot risk supporting Webber and losing their constructor’s title. That may change if Webber starts winning the races. At the moment, though, Vettel appears cruising towards another world title.
