Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz believes the title momentum is currently with Sebastian Vettel, but admitted Mark Webber’s slim lead could be enough to see him take the crown.
The Austrian billionaire also assured fans and the media that the team wouldn’t interfere with team orders, but cautioned the drivers that if they are to secure either title, they need to work together.
“There are no team orders from our side. The winner should and will be the one who makes fewer mistakes and is the fastest,” he told AMuS.
“Sebastian seems to have the speed at the moment. Whether Mark’s lead will be enough for the championship, it’s still to be seen.
“It is important that they both know that they need each other to become world champions and that they are ultimately important for the team, and thus take the constructors’ championship.”
In response to whether Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso could sneakily take the title, Mateschitz said such a scenario couldn’t be ruled out.
“This can always happen, of course. Technical problems or involuntary accidents can never be predicted. In this sense we must have no bad luck.”
