Horner: Webber wanted Vettel to back off
Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner has revealed that Mark Webber asked the team to advise Sebastian Vettel to back off the lap before their Turkish Grand Prix collision.
Vettel attempted to pass his team-mate for the lead on the run down to the final series of corners at Istanbul Park on lap 41, but the pair made contact, putting Vettel out of the race and forcing Webber to pit for a new nose which dropped him to third behind the McLarens of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.
