The future of Webber to be decided at the end of August

The fact that Webber deliberately ignored the team order made by the pit wall of the Austrian team did not please Christian Horner, who will have to discuss this with his driver.

« He risked Sebastian’s second place, his third place, and 33 points for the team. I understand it’s racing, but he risked an unnecessary accident. If each of the 500 people in the team only thought for themselves, we would never achieve our goals, » explains Horner in an interview with Bild.

Even though Dietrich Mateschitz stated that Mark Webber would more than likely remain with Red Bull Racing in 2012, nothing has been decided on this matter yet.

“We are going to meet at the end of August and make a decision together,” declares the Red Bull team principal.

Will Webber’s refusal to comply last weekend weigh in the balance? What is certain is that Vettel’s teammate at Red Bull will have to bring harmony to the team, Horner further emphasizes.

If Webber were not reappointed to his position, the German press is already fantasizing about a possible return to the business for Kimi Räikkönen. Bild claims that the information is top secret but that it comes from a well-placed source within the team.

« I think his mind is elsewhere than in F1 at the moment. I haven’t seen any signs indicating he wants to return. We don’t have any driver problems, everyone is knocking on our door, and we have the time, » responds Christian Horner regarding these rumors.
