Red Bull Not Giving Team Orders Yet

With four races remaining in this year's campaign and Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel holding a six point lead over Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, the Milton Keynes-based outfit is not thinking about giving team orders yet.

Vettel's team mate Mark Webber remains free to challenge the Championship leader, despite the F1 World Championship being so finely poised.

With still 100 points up for grabs, the Aussie is 63 points behind the German in the Drivers standings, while the German double World Champion from Heppenheim is locked in a close fight with another double World Champion, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.

And although it would be logical for the Austrian team to give their full support to Vettel, Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner says no thought has been given to imposing team orders.

"Not yet," the Englisman said. "Sebastian has moved into the lead and Mark still has a chance of winning this championship. I think it would be wrong to impose team orders, while Mark still mathematically has a chance of winning. They demonstrated in Korea that they race each other fairly, and that is all we ask of them."
