The letter is reproduced actually in full in Webber's book, so...

I'm going to do a little bonus thing for the race members club where we can have a read through of it together and kind of stop off along the way and share a few thoughts on it.

Webber said that he and his management put Horner on the spot in private, asking him to abandon the pretense of even handedness and just tell us exactly where I stood in the team.

He said he wouldn't leak it to the outside world.

He just wanted to be told once and for all if there was a pro-Vettel agenda within the team.

And he said, we tried to make Christian understand that he was doing a great disservice to himself by allowing himself to be undermined by Marco.

Webber said he was old enough and ugly enough to understand that Horner was put in a difficult position politically by trying to keep everyone happy, particularly Marco.

But Mark added, all we wanted was to be told the truth, but he couldn't do that.

And for me, that was a sign of weakness.

It was at this stage that I began losing respect for him.

It must have been uncomfortable for him to be a frontline spokesperson for the team without enjoying any real power within the hierarchy.

To offer some balance on this, Adrian Newey felt Webber let Marco's favouritism towards Vettel rile him, even though Horner and Newey were trying to keep things fair.

Newey added that Webber and his camp started spending too much time worrying about Helmut and Sebastian, which Newey felt was understandable in many ways, but also potentially self-harming because there's no point wasting energy on things you can't change.

John, you've talked about what you've heard about what went on behind the scenes and Mark letting Helmut know exactly what he really thought of him.

Do you think, though, Mark became too focused, perhaps even obsessed, on the Marco factor within Red Bull?

Let's finish then with how the rest of this race played out after the Red Bulls had eliminated themselves from contention.

The McLarens of Hamilton and Button were now running 1-2 and nine laps after the Red Bulls had clashed, another set of teammates were side by side on the run to the final hairpin with Button attacking Hamilton on the outside.

Button held on around the outside to briefly take the lead for the final two corners of the lap.

But Hamilton got a run on him down to the first corner and sent it back down the inside where they do briefly rub wheels with Lewis coming back out on top.

Button then backed off as he was told his fuel situation was critical for getting to the end of the race.
