Webber said that team boss Christian Horner allowed Helmut Marko to deliver the news to Vettel to help him rationalise the fact he'd just been well and truly beaten by the old Aussie in the other car.

Webber said that in Vettel's mind, it was beyond comprehension that I could beat him fair and square.

There had to be another reason why.

And he said that Red Bull's decision to boost Vettel's confidence in this way said a lot about what was going on at the heart of the team.

John, what do you think of that?

If Vettel's original chassis was fine, is it still kind of OK for Red Bull to let him think there was a problem if they think that's going to kind of fix his head?

And as you say, that still goes on today.

I think that's fine.

If your driver's got into a kind of mental funk over something and you can at least give them that change and it makes them think there's been a reset, I think it makes sense.

It's, yeah, not the oldest trick in the book, but it's been around a long time.

I'm sure...

I'm sure Ross Brawn has told a story about either Ferrari or Mercedes did that to Michael Schumacher once.

And they just changed the chassis plate.

They didn't actually change the car.

Anyway, we'll come back to Red Bull later.

Someone who arrived in Turkey in really good form was Robert Kubica.

He was off to a great start to life at Renault.

He already had two podiums to his name from the first six races of the year.

And in Monaco, he'd started on the front row and finished third behind the two Red Bulls.

Kubica warned people not to expect too much in Turkey, though, which he expected to be more like the Spanish Grand Prix, where he'd qualified seventh and finished eighth.
