Red Bull team orders policy to be reviewed
Christian Horner says he will review Red Bull's team orders policy in the wake of their disastrous result at the Korean Grand Prix.
Mark Webber threw away his lead in the championship as he spun out on a wet track during a dramatic inaugural race at the Yeongam venue.
Team-mate Sebastian Vettel was then poised to take over from him at the top of the points standings but an engine failure while leading meant he also suffered an early exit.
As a result of the double retirement, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso now holds the advantage, with Webber and Vettel 11 and 25 points behind respectively.
Although he has previously stated that there was no favouritism within his team, Horner now accepts that team tactics could come into play in the final two races of the season.
"I haven't had time to look at all the mathematics and scenarios," Horner said.
Close look
"It's something obviously we will look at pretty closely between now and Brazil.
"Clearly the objective for both of them is to be ahead of Fernando and Lewis (Hamilton), as we achieved (in qualifying) on Saturday, and as was the case in the race when we looked set for a good result.
"Unfortunately that didn't happen, and it was a race win that was beyond our control. In the end we gifted Fernando 25 points, which is obviously frustrating, but this is a championship I believe will go down to the last lap in Abu Dhabi."
Any team orders are likely to favour Webber as he is still closer to the championship lead despite an on-form Vettel taking points off him in recent grands prix.
Horner added: "Mark is second and Sebastian has dropped to fourth in the championship.
"There is still only a race win between Sebastian and Alonso, and how many times have we seen this year the championship to and fro?
"So it's impossible to have a crystal ball and predict what will happen in Brazil and Abu Dhabi."
