Did Vettel throw tantrum to not retire car in Sepang?

How many people have a job that allows you to disregard what the Boss tells you to do?

A guy I work with. He's the boss's son.

Didn't work for me when I was the Boss' son.

Doesn't work for me, and I'm the boss...well, the boss's husband actually

I hope the "Seb ignored pitwall to continue" theory is true (as opposed to, say, not spotting the board and hearing about the attempted instruction between chequered flag and interview). It's very endearing to insist on finishing, even if it could work against Seb's best interests. It is likely that the fact he is a double champion helps him to "get away" with this sort of behaviour but Red Bull knew they were taking on a proper racer when they hired him.
