Mark Webber has insisted that harmony remains in place at Red Bull, despite the clear disagreement between himself and the team after it handed his front wing to team-mate Sebastian Vettel prior to qualifying at Silverstone.
With Webber having won the British Grand Prix as Vettel fought back to seventh following a first-lap puncture due to slight contact with Lewis Hamilton, the Red Bull duo ironically both emerged from the pit lane with the older specification front wing as first free practice began at Hockenheim on Friday morning.
“Obviously there was a little bit of stuff here and there but first of all Sebastian did absolutely nothing wrong with me at the last event,” said Webber, responding to questions at the German circuit.
“That is totally obvious. Seb did what he did and had an incident at the first corner which was bloody unlucky for him. It can happen to any of us and the race from my side went okay with a great team effort.
“Unfortunately we didn’t get a 1-2, which we were more than capable of doing. The team is ready to go forward. We are both competitive and it is only natural the media and everyone wants to wind up a nice rivalry between whoever it is, but Seb and I are naturally going about our jobs.
“We are in a sensational position. Two years ago the team was not doing this type of results; wow we are and we are taking on the best teams in the pit lane, so it is an absolute credit to us and we are looking to continue that.”
