Red Bull: Need to understand Webber’s problem
Mark Webber finished fifth, again, in Melbourne
Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner says the team needs to discover why Mark Webber was unable to match the pace of his team-mate Sebastian Vettel this weekend.
The Australian, who won four races and fought for the championship until the final race last year, was out-qualified and out-raced by Vettel at Albert Park.
While Vettel drove from pole to victory, Webber greeted the chequered flag fifth – almost 40 seconds behind the German.
“I think we just just struggled for pace today with Mark,” said Horner after the race.
“We need to have a good look at it – he’s struggled all weekend.
“He had a scrappy last stop too which cost a place to (Fernando) Alonso.
“So we need to have a good look at it and understand it, so we can turn up in Malaysia with both cars at the front.”
