Has the "Multi-21" affair been resolved?
Mark Webber, who was betrayed by his triple world champion teammate Sebastian Vettel at the Malaysian Grand Prix, is now saying the two Red Bull Racing drivers are enjoying "great camaraderie", according to IANS news agency.
The controversy that followed Malaysia made every headline possible. The already ailing relationship between the two drivers was falling apart completely. Rumours of Webber leaving the team were flying around.
And now, the Australian insists the matter is behind them?
"Now into its seventh season, my partnership with Red Bull racing is one of the longest between a driver and a team," the 36-year-old is quoted saying by IANS.
"Sebastian and I are a team and we share a great camaraderie."
Webber, who swerved dangerously towards Vettel after they crossed the finish ling in Malaysia, seems adamant: "We continue to respect each other and will continue to remain focused in wanting to make the team proud."
However, the same Webber wrote today on his Twitter account that some "rubbish quotes (were) floating around" lately, bringing everybody back to square one on his tensed relationship with Vettel.
