Christian Horner believes it would be frustrating if Fernando Alonso takes the title after Ferrari broke the regulations, with little punishment.
The Red Bull team principal echoed similar comments voiced by Max Mosley last week, when the former-FIA president said an Alonso win by seven points or less would devalue Formula One.
“If by any chance Alonso were to win the championship, with a margin less than the seven points… it would devalue the championship,” Mosley told the BBC.
Also speaking to the British broadcasting giant, Horner urged his team to do their talking on the track, rather than dwell on the seven points Alonso gained during the Hockenheim controversy.
“It would be frustrating [if Alonso won] because we’ve obviously worked under the auspices that team orders have been illegal,” said Horner.
“The FIA made the ruling that they did, that’s it, it’s clear for all. We’ve just got to get on with it and try and do our talking on the circuit.”
Red Bull currently head the constructors’ championship by 27 points over McLaren, whilst Mark Webber stands just 11 points behind Alonso in the drivers’ title, with 50 points remaining in the final two rounds of the 2010 season.
