Why exactly was he slower anyway? People say he was on a different strategy and they're right. It was DC running lighter though. And yes, I am suggesting that they have an agreement that when Kimi is behind DC, DC lets him past. Whether these constitute as team orders, I don't know, need to ask the FIA, and probably get a different and/or blurry answer each week. But what I do know is that DC and Kimi will not race against each other this year.

Just the fact you thought the possibility of a race existed between Williams teammates proves my original point. What would you have expected between Ferraris?

I wouldn't have expected this from Ferraris because it has been their philosophy for decades. As for Williams and your point, I would have agreed with you before France, but not for this race. Hope to be proven wrong, of course, nothing is as much fun as watching Patrick Head when his drivers take each other out.
On a side note, big kudos to Williams and McLaren, and of course to Michelin, for working their arses off in the off between the seasons and taking it to Ferrari and beating them thus making not-so-necessary, in retrospect, changes of positin between the teammates impossible.
