Horner: Both drivers still in title race

Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner has declared it is still too early for the team to throw its full weight behind Mark Webber in the title chase and will continue to give Sebastian Vettel an equal shot at becoming world champion. After both Red Bulls retired in Korea - Webber following a crash and Vettel with an engine failure while leading - the duo now trail new points leader Fernando Alonso by 11 and 25 points respectively with two rounds to go. That situation had led to suggestions that Red Bull would have to ask Vettel to act as Webber's number two in Brazil and Abu Dhabi to give the Australian the best possible chance of overhauling Alonso, and Horner acknowledged after the race in Korea that the possibility of giving Webber priority was "something that we will look at pretty closely between now and Brazil." But he has now decided that with this season having featured so many ups and downs already, it would not be correct to rule out Vettel's title chances and make him support Webber, despite the German's points deficit
