Aussie not expecting repeat of last year's Red Bull dust-up
Mark Webber has insisted there will be no repeat of last year's controversial collision with Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel in Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix.
The pair came together when disputing the lead of the race in Istanbul last June, with each blaming the other for the incident.
Webber recovered to finish third behind McLaren pair Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button but Vettel - who many believed to be at fault for the collision under braking for turn 12 at the Istanbul Park track - was forced to retire on the spot.
Vettel lines up on pole for this year's race ahead of Webber, but the Australian predicted a "less intense" race and said that lessons had been learned.
"It wasn't the ideal race. In the end there was contact, we had a crash. It happens in motor racing, very rarely between team-mates, but it happened," Webber said.
"It's a bit more straightforward these days. The racing is still intensive, but the DRS (moveable rear wing) and things like that make it a bit less intense in some ways. You can only do so much.
"But I think we both learned a lot from last year, not just in that situation, but in some other situations.
"At certain stages tomorrow if we're racing each other - and we don't know how the race is going to unfold - there might be times when we're close to each other.
"Of course, we're not going to repeat what we did last year. Wisdom helps you in that respect."
