Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is adamant revenge is not an option in the wake of the recent team orders controversy in Malaysia.

As far as Horner is concerned, the matter has been ‘dealt with’ and the book now closed on an incident last month which saw Sebastian Vettel deliberately ignore instruction not to pass team-mate Mark Webber. Webber was left fuming with the German, who later apologised, but given there is no love lost between the duo there can be no guarantees against future on-track animosity.
Horner, however, told
The Independant that he insists there will be no payback.
‘Both of them know what the team’s views were of Malaysia. It is something that has been discussed, something that has been addressed,’ said Horner. ‘They know the real opponents sit outside of the team, not inside the team. There will be competition. I don’t expect them to be spending Christmas together or anything like that. But they are professionals who will work to ensure we keep moving forward. Sebastian brings the best out of Mark, and Mark brings the best out of Sebastian because they push each other hard."
