What the hell did Webber do?

If anything he should be commended for holding his tounge during the post-podium interview, even despite the reporter attempting to bait him.

he had been told that SV was quicker and in danger of being passed by Hamilton. He tried to shut the door on a TEAMMATE that was inside and ahead ... anything else ?

That sounds more like your OPINION, not fact.

Webber left room. Vettel caused the contact.

Webber didn't move, how is that "shutting the door"? I'm not saying either one is 100% to blame but I'm not sure I understand your reasoning in blaming Webber.

looks like vettel had enough space to pass him - suddenly he moves left towards webber to get the apex right?

check it out on 1.24

Right. Vettel either had to brake earlier to keep the inside line or get ahead of Webber to get a proper line. Webber didn't give up his line, which he didn't have to, and Vettel moved over without having room.

vettel's fault imo.

Totally Vettel's fault IMO, there was no reason to shift right, especially against your teammate. I wonder what the Team boss said to him when he got into the pit... Damnit Redbull, would have had another 1-2

definitely Vettel's fault, despite Redbull's attempts to coddle their future #1. If Button or Hamilton don't win the WDC, I hope Webber does and takes the #1 car somewhere else now.

Vettel was only "quicker" because he was told to turn up the revs while Webber was told to turn down the revs to save fuel. This is the new age version of team orders.
