Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel-Mark Webber Crash: The Conspiracy Theories

The Formula One circus arrives in Istanbul, the city of two continents, where Red Bull again dominate, with Mark Webber taking yet another pole position, and Sebastian Vettel third.

Half-way into the race, and it's certain to be a Red Bull one-two, not even the McLarens' straight line speed is enough to match their all-round pace.

But then, out of the blue, Vettel has enough of his teammate's dominance and decides to overtake him.

Inevitably, it all goes wrong, and a guaranteed one-two ends up with one driver out, and the other converting pole position into just the third spot on the podium.

There'll be a massive inquest by Red Bull into this incident, and it'll most likely be analyzed to death by Formula One experts.

In the meantime, here's some of the potential reasons as to why Vettel went potty and defied the laws of guaranteed success by converting it into failure.

Sebastian Vettel Does Exist As Well, You Know...

One potential reason could've been that Sebastian Vettel just wasn't getting enough attention in recent weeks, what with Mark Webber taking a full 50 points from two races and all.

And so, just like a serial killer who wants some loving, Vettel perhaps saw the opportune moment to spice things up a bit, by taking out his teammate, making headlines and getting the attention he feels he deserves.

After all, it's not like Vettel was actually trying to overtake his teammate and claim first place or anything.

He just wanted to make some headlines, and tell the world's media, "Hello! I do exist as well, you know!"

Too Much Red Bull

Ahead of the race, Vettel may have drunk a bit too much Red Bull.

Perhaps he thought it would give him wings, so he could fly over Mark Webber on the last lap and snatch victory from his hands.

But inevitably, the German didn't get any wings, and ultimately all that consumption of the energy drink probably made him a bit loopy, and hence made him think he could overtake his Aussie teammate, when of course he couldn't.

Also, it made him slightly irritable with the media afterwards, bless him.

Vettel Is a German

We all know what those Germans are like when they don't get their own way, especially when it comes to sport.

Being the German he is, perhaps Sebastian Vettel got slightly too annoyed at being second, and just went on a kamikaze mission; if he got ahead of Mark Webber then great, if not, oh well, at least he would've shown his teammate who's boss.

In the end however, this kamikaze mission failed; he didn't get ahead of Webber, and simply made himself look like a fool, as his teammate at least went on to claim third and a place on the podium, instead of crying in the team garage.

Randy Mandy Ain't No Luscious Liz

Perhaps Vettel's new favourite girl just isn't up to scratch when it comes to Grand Prix racing.

'Randy Mandy' is the name for Vettel's new chassis for his Red Bull car, after 'Luscious Liz' let herself down in the last two races.

Quite the playboy when it comes to the car's chassis, Vettel has been let down in the past by 'Kate' and 'Kate's Dirty Sister'.

So perhaps lady luck deserted him yet again, and 'Randy Mandy' is to blame for Vettel's erratic and deleterious move at the 2010 Turkish GP.

Vettel Hates Those Damn Aussies

The above reason could be the winner here.

Come on, admit it, everyone dislikes the annoyingly brilliant-at-sport Australians in some way, and so it could well have been the same case for Sebastian Vettel.

Perhaps to him, destroying his teammate's race was more important than coming second. Perhaps.

After all, it's always nice to see those arrogant Australians fail, isn't it?

Team Orders

Because Red Bull are just ludicrously fast and well ahead of the pack when it comes to pace, perhaps Christian Horner ordered his drivers to crash on purpose, just to give the other teams are chance in the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.

Also, perhaps he was thinking about the spectator and thought it would make for a better spectacle if Vettel rammed into Webber.

Or probably not. Best leave this theory alone, as after all, we wouldn't want another Crashgate scandal...
