Christian Horner and David Coulthard were at the UK's Autosport International Show on Saturday to meet and greet fans and talk about
last season, the team and our drivers.
The Autosport show features every class of motorsport from karting up to Formula One - talking of which the RB7 was also on display. Our world championship-winning car sat in pole position at the show's F1 Racing Grid, as seen by our ten competition winners and their guests.
Asked how he sees the relative performances of Vettel and Webber, our Team Principal said: "We're fortunate to have a great balance of youth and experience. Sebastian has demonstrated he's a real talent; a young guy, he's very intelligent, mentally very strong and a very likeable character.
"One mustn't forget the difficulties Mark had 12 months ago when he had a very nasty accident, breaking his leg and also he forgot to
mention he had broken his shoulder blade as well so his recuperation over the winter was quite phenomenal and it really took him two or three races to get back up to full speed. The two of them work very well as a combination and we're very fortunate within Red Bull that
we've got two drivers with a very strong work ethic, they're both very quick and they complement each other well."
Meanwhile DC was asked about Vettel's double world champion title at the age of 24. In response, the Red Bull and Wings For Life ambassador said: "Look at Mark Webber. He's a driver I rate very highly but he was made to look average by Sebastian last year - which we all know he isn't. What it shows is the emergence of a real great within the sport by winning those back-to-back championships."
