I may disobey orders again - Vettel

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel says he would "probably" ignore team orders again if he was instructed not to challenge team-mate Mark Webber. Vettel was asked if he would repeat his actions from the Malaysian Grand Prix. He said: "I'm not sure I can give a proper answer because in the moment it might be different but I would probably do the same." Vettel added his move was "indirectly" a form of payback for what he said was a lack of past support from WebberHe said: "I never had support from his side. I have a lot of support from the team and think they are supporting both of us the same way. I respect Mark as a racing driver but there was more than one occasion in the past when he could have helped the team and he didn't." $render("advert","advert-companion","22075767"); $render("advert-post-script-load"); F1: When team-mates fall out require( { baseUrl: "http://static.bbci.co.uk/sport/ui/3.0.7/js/desktop/" }, ["empswitch"], function(empswitch) { empswitch.init(); } ); Meanwhile, Red Bull have agreed to reduce the use of team orders after owner Dietrich Mateschitz intervened in the Vettel row. Team principal Christian Horner said on Thursday: "We will not impose team orders at the end of a race." Speaking before that announcement, Vettel was asked if he was getting revenge for Webber being less than helpful in last year's title-deciding race in Brazil, when Webber appeared to be obstructive twice despite being told by the team to help Vettel in his championship battle with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. The German replied: "Probably you could say indirectly so." Vettel did not mention the several times in the past that Webber has obeyed team orders not to challenge Vettel, even when he felt he was faster and was himself a title contender - as for example in Canada, Japan and Brazil in 2010. On the future, Webber said he believed the chances of a repeat were "so small". He added: "It's very rare that it's happened and when it has it's a hot point, because it has been sticky to handle. Although I have tested the system I haven't gone through with it, but obviously Malaysia was a little bit different." Asked if he would have given the place back had team principal Christian Horner ordered him to do so over the radio, Vettel said: "I didn't mean to ignore the team's order. I heard it, but I didn't understand it the proper way. I apologised for that.
