According to Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport, owner Dietrich Mateschitz was furious when Sebastian Vettel ignored his bosses orders in Malaysia, triggering Mark Webber’s anger and a slew of negative publicity.<\/p>\n
Billionaire Mateschitz reportedly told the Milton-Keynes based team that a repeat of the team orders mess could result in him pulling the plug on F1 altogether.<\/p>\n
“Nonsense.\u00a0 There’s nothing to it,” Mateschitz’s right hand man Marko told Bild newspaper.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, the affair dubbed ‘Multi-21′ continues to cause headaches for Red Bull.<\/p>\n
A photo of Webber dining with Red Bull’s arch-enemy Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso in Dubai was posted on the drivers’ Twitter feeds, triggering another wave of rumours.<\/p>\n
Marko said: “It’s nice that there are at least two friends in formula one.”<\/p>\n
Pedro de la Rosa, a Ferrari test driver, suggested the entire saga is a storm in a teacup, playing down suggestions Webber could quit Red Bull sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
“No,” the Spaniard told Marca sports newspaper.<\/p>\n
“How are you going to leave a team that is giving you a great car like that one?”<\/p>\n
De la Rosa rubbished the conspiracy theory about Red Bull sabotaging Webber’s RB9 in China last weekend.<\/p>\n
“There is no sabotage,” he insisted.\u00a0 “His teammate didn’t follow a team order.\u00a0 He (Vettel) apologised.<\/p>\n
“The fuel (situation in qualifying in China) was a mistake, and it’s happened elsewhere before.<\/p>\n
“I would like to be in his (Webber)’s skin.\u00a0 I don’t see the controversy.<\/p>\n
“It would be a problem if he wasn’t in a position to win races,” he added.<\/p>\n
