Webber coping better than Vettel in 2012 says engineer

One of Sebastian Vettel’s engineers has admitted the reigning double world champion is currently playing second fiddle to Red Bull teammate Mark Webber.

Cyril Dumont, who works with German Vettel through Red Bull’s works engine supplier Renault, admitted to RMC Sport that the balance of power from one side of the team’s garage to the other has changed.

“Mark tends to be able to get around the problems and adapt,” he said.

“But for Sebastian, each ingredient needs to be at its optimum for him to have full confidence and get the performance out.

“The car has worked well for him in the previous two years, while it is true that at the first two grands prix (of 2012) he has been less comfortable.

“Mark seems to be suffering less,” added Dumont.

Isn´t it amnazing to see Webber not any quicker than Seb all weekend and come Qualy he can drag out a considerable margin?
Red Bull has reached a state of imbalance and this is just enough to affect the results they achieve when last year they managed the weaknesses they had very well this year it all goes into negatives...Vettels Season will be character building .


You say that they coped last year but Webber under performed. This year it looks like it's shaping up to be the other way round.

I think Webber is ver comfortable to see Vettel struggle and vise versa .For these two it just does not pay off .one is suffering and rarely they are inspiring each other to get more out of the package.
