Should Red Bull bet everything on Webber?

La Red Bull RB6 is indeed the best machine of the 2010 season, as proven by its 14 poles in 17 Grands Prix. But by letting its drivers explain themselves freely on the track, the Austrian team could see the two titles slip away from them.

With two races to go, Niki Lauda thinks it would now be time to ask Sebastian Vettel to help Mark Webber in the quest for the world crown, which Christian Horner refuses to do, as long as his two drivers are still mathematically in the race.

“Red Bull needs to establish a hierarchy, the three-time Austrian world champion told telegraph.co.uk. If they are not behind Mark Webber, they could end up without any titles. »

Former teammate of Michael Schumacher at Benetton, Jos Verstappen shares the opinion of the former boss of Jaguar Racing.

“Mathematically, Vettel still has a chance of winning the title, continues the Dutchman on the website of the British newspaper. But as a team, they should now bet everything on Webber. He has a better chance of winning the title. Obviously the situation Red Bull is in is delicate, everyone knows who they would like to see be in the best position. It's a shame for Vettel, but with this engine failure in Korea, his championship has gone up in smoke.

At Red Bull, we still don't seem to share this opinion?
