Red Bull chief Horner rules out team orders in Brazil

RED BULL Racing team principal Christian Horner has confirmed Mark Webber will not be favoured over Sebastian Vettel in Brazil next week.

Following Sunday’s Korean Grand Prix, in which the team suffered its first double DNF for 51 races, Horner stated the debate over team orders would be reviewed.

With Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso moving ahead in the championship following his fourth win in seven races, it has left Webber trailing by 11 points and Vettel by 25. The suggestion was the Brazilian Grand Prix on November 7 would be the ideal time for Red Bull to throw its weight behind Webber to deny Alonso the drivers’ title.
