Sebastian Vettel reportedly believes his teammate Mark Webber should have kept a lid on his unhappiness at Silverstone last weekend.<\/p>\n
Although the controversial recipient of Webber’s front wing in Britain, and accused of being favoured by his Red Bull bosses, the 23-year-old German’s voice has been the quietest throughout the latest saga.<\/p>\n
At Silverstone he hinted that Australian Webber had shown his “true face”, adding: “The most important thing is the atmosphere within the team.\u00a0 We have a really strong car and the only thing that can stop us is ourselves.”<\/p>\n
The implication is that Webber should have saved his grievances about the front wing so that it could be handled internally.<\/p>\n
Germany’s Bild newspaper now quotes him as saying: “I’m brought up to show respect for one another.”<\/p>\n
Referring to the wing saga, he added: “Such things do not belong in the public, they should be handled internally by the team.”<\/p>\n
Former driver David Coulthard, still a consultant for the energy drink owned team, agrees that Red Bull would have preferred if the matter had not gone public.<\/p>\n
“Red Bull would doubtless prefer it if Mark aired his grievances in private,” he wrote in his Telegraph column.<\/p>\n
Nick Fry, chief executive of the Mercedes team, warns that Red Bull must quickly make clear to its drivers that they are not in charge.<\/p>\n
“Drivers are a vital part of the team but they’re not the team and that needs to be clear,” he is quoted by the Sun newspaper.<\/p>\n
“As soon as the lunatics start running the asylum you have big problems,” he added.<\/p>\n
