Mark Webber Is The Safe Bet For Red Bull Racing, But Who’s Going To Tell Vettel?

Red Bull Racing is in a difficult position. After its worst race all year in Korea, they find themselves with a real chance of missing out on the driver’s championship after being the dominant force all season. If that happens, the team will need to look closely at changing its name to Red Steer Racing.

(Look up steer in a dictionary if that doesn’t make sense.)

Against the odds, Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso has set out to deliver on the rash statement that he made in Britain, when he said that he would win the 2010 championship. He was 47 points off the lead at the time and was widely ridiculed, but he has made a lot of pundits—including yours truly—sit up and take notice.

Not that all is lost for Red Bull but, with two races to go, there is absolutely no room for error.

Red Bull’s team principal, Christian Horner, last week announced to the world that the team would not interfere in the championship fight. Of course, last week a Red Bull championship one-two looked inevitable. Besides, they had also got their demonstrations of favouritism out of the way earlier in the season.

Now everything has changed.

Red Bull have made little effort to hide the fact that their anointed driver is Sebastian Vettel.  Team advisor Helmut Marko and owner Dietrich Mateschitz have seen Vettel through the ranks of the Red Bull Junior Team to be their greatest success to date. A Vettel championship would be the ultimate payoff for their system.

The problem is that Vettel is fourth in the championship race and 25 points behind Alonso. Even if he were to win the next two races—and he has never won two races in succession—Alonso only has to finish with a third and fourth place to beat him. Even if, by some coincidence, they were to manage to finish on the same points, Alonso would still win the title on a count back.

The Ferrari is looking too go...
