Webber insists team orders weren't needed

Red Bull's Mark Webber has defended his decision to ignore pit-wall instructions in the closing stages of Sunday's Silverstone race, insisting that he and team mate Sebastian Vettel are quite capable of racing each other without coming to blows.

�The team was worried about Seb and me crashing because it wanted the points for the constructors' championship,� said Webber. �I understand that, but I wanted points for the championship too and we proved that we can race without making contact.�
