Horner does not hide the team instructions

Sebastian Vettel was in difficulty on his RB7 during the final laps of the race. This inconvenience allowed his teammate Mark Webber to get back into contact with the Championship leader to try to recover second place. But the team asked the Australian not to attack his teammate.

Christian Horner does not hide having asked Mark Webber not to attack his teammate. “This result is a team result given the circumstances of the race,” explains the director of Red Bull Racing at the BBC. “Sebastian (Vettel) had SREC problems that we couldn't fix. »

The Red Bull's stable feared a collision like the one that occurred at the Turkish GP last year. “The last thing you want is to lose so many points,” adds Christian Horner. “Mark was obviously against this, but we couldn't afford to lose these points. »
