Despite cuddling Sebastian Vettel and pointing the finger at Mark Webber, Red Bull's Helmut Marko insists both drivers are treated exactly the same.

On track for a 1-2 finish in Sunday's Turkish GP, Red Bull's racers committed a cardinal sin when Vettel, trying to take the lead off Webber, collided with his team-mate. The disastrous move put Vettel out of the grand prix and dropped Webber from first to third.

Upon arriving back in the pits, Vettel was greeted with cuddles from those on the Red Bull pit wall while Webber was handed the blame for the incident by Red Bull advisor Marko.

'It was Vettel's line. It was Vettel's corner. Mr Mateschitz is not happy'...

Helmut Marko

"It was Vettel's line," Marko ranted. "It was Vettel's corner. Mr Mateschitz (Red Bull's owner) is not happy."

Having had a bit of time to calm down, Marko later insisted that Red Bull are not favouring Vettel.

"We are handling our team and both drivers in the same way," he said. "Vettel was under such pressure and if such a situation comes up - you have to look after the team. We still could have been 1-2."

But despite that, he still believes Vettel had to attack Webber for the lead - and was in the right.

"It wasn't a situation where we were racing each other. We were under enormous pressure from the McLarens - they were much faster on the straights so we had to gain our advantage in the corners.

"He had to attack otherwise he would have got overtaken by Hamilton - it would have been completely different if the McLarens were 10-seconds behind, but that wasn't the case.

"He was already ahead, at least two metres ahead, and there was a corner to the left side coming, so he had to go for the line. He cannot brake on the dirt because for sure he knows what happens.

"But it was unnecessary the whole situation. We will talk with everybody quite clearly to make it not happen again."
