Red Bull Confirms Equal Support for Webber, Vettel

Red Bull's boss Christian Horner revealed, after the Korean Grand Prix, that he will evaluate the situation in the overall classification for both his drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber and then decide on a strategy for the last two races of the season. Although many took that as a sign that he's finally taking “team tactics” into account, the Brit told the media yesterday that both drivers will continue to be equally supported for the title.

Following the point-less Korean Grand Prix, Mark Webber now trails leader Fernando Alonso for the world title by 11 points, while his teammate Sebastian Vettel sits 14 more points behind in 4th place.

“We have two fantastic drivers and we will continue to support both equally in line with Red Bull's credible sporting ethos,” said Horner in an interview on the team's official website.

“As we saw in Korea it is impossible to predict what will happen with five drivers being so closely in contention. For example, with 10 laps to go Sebastian had moved into the lead of the championship, with Alonso then moving into the lead following our bad luck.”

“It just goes to show that situations can change very quickly. Ultimately as we now approach the end of the championship, the mathematics will speak for themselves and I'm certain that both drivers will do everything possible to achieve the best result for the team.”

Red Bull will be considered race favorites in both Brazil and Abu Dhabi, the remaining couple of circuits in this year's championship, as they won at those tracks last year.
