Vettel’s boss: Serious reproaches against Webber

World champion Sebastian Vettel (24) has a 80 points lead in the World Championship classification. In the Constructor’s Championship, the lead goes up to 110 points

Nevertheless, there is quarrel at Red Bull! Team boss, Christian Horner (37), severely reproaches Vettel’s team-mate Mark Webber (34/Australia) in interview with BILD.

BILD: Mr. Horner, Sebastian Vettel, after nine out of 18 races, is almost world champion again ...

Horner: "Stop. Stop. There are still ten races and 250 points to be awarded. If Sebastian DNF three times, everything would be quite different. Things can change quickly. "

BILD: when your second driver, Mark Webber, simply ignores your orders, as in Silverstone?

Horner: "For example. We have sorted Mark out. He has risked Sebastian’s second place, his 3rd place and 33 points for the team. "

BILD: Because he attacked Vettel contrary your team-orders at the end (of the race)?

Horner: "He is a racer, I understand it. But I've seen in the monitor at the wall what many viewers, for sure, weren’t aware of: Mark took Sebastian to the utmost limit and brought them both, in two different places, absolutely unnecessarily in crash risk. That can’t happen. If all our 500 people would think only of themselves, we would never be able to achieve our goals. "

BILD: Has it reduced Webber’s chances at Red Bull for 2012?

Horner: "We will take a decision together at the end of august."

BILD: Do you already have in your head Vettel’s new team-mate?

Horner: "No. He must be able to drive at the front and bring harmony to the team. How harmonious a driver is, is often difficult to assess in his current environment. "

BILD: Like someone who doesn’t drive Formula 1 at the moment but is in the Red Bull's payroll?

Horner: "Kimi Räikkönen?"

BILD: Yes, exactly.

Horner: "But he is driving trucks in America and rallies. I think, his head is somewhere else than Formula 1 at the moment. It is hard to come back. "

BILD: But even: there’s supposed to be a plan to let Räikkönen drive alongside Vettel for a year.

Horner: "I've not seen so far any signs in Kimi of a return. As I said, we are not in a hurry in the driver’s question. Everyone in the pit lane has already knocked at our door. We have time. "
