Mark Webber was furious after qualifying second for the British grand prix.<\/p>\n
Red Bull brought only two examples of a new front wing design to Silverstone, and on Saturday morning Sebastian Vettel’s broke during the pre-qualifying practice session.<\/p>\n
The team took Webber’s front wing off the sister RB6 and fitted it to Vettel’s car before the young German secured pole in qualifying.<\/p>\n
The previous specification was used by Webber, who qualified a tenth off Vettel’s pace.<\/p>\n
The story emerged immediately after qualifying, when Australian Webber refused to put his arm around Vettel for the usual post-parc ferme qualifying pose for photographers.<\/p>\n
And the 33-year-old’s face had not improved in the press conference, when he surmised that “the team is happy with the result”.<\/p>\n
Webber also did not stop for his usual talk with television interviews in the paddock.<\/p>\n
Team boss Christian Horner said as recently as Friday afternoon that Webber and Vettel are treated “with transparency and equality”, receiving “equal priority and treatment”.<\/p>\n
“I think the most important thing for any driver is to know that he’s getting equality of equipment and priority,” added the Briton.<\/p>\n
