Ted Kravitz, Johnny Herbert and Natalie Pinkham pose the questions...
Ted: Sebastian is so loved by the team - and with good reason, because he has won three World Championships with you in a row - that he knows you can't really say 'no' to him. Is he a bit spoiled like that?CH: "Not at all. These guys are competitive athletes and you are managing them all the time - and not just in a race. He is a big team player, as is Mark, and that is what has driven us to the success we have had. Occasionally, it gets lumpy and gets uncomfortable, but there are others in the pitlane who would die to have the success we have had over the last four years and that has come from these guys pushing each other.
"This rivalry is nothing new to us. It is something which has been there almost from day one. So yes, it has got headlines and kept Formula 1 in the news for the last few weeks, but for us internally it is nothing new."
Ted: But now we know they both hate each other...CH: "I wouldn't go as far as 'hate', but there is a very strong rivalry. They won't be spending the summer holidays together, that is for sure, but it changes nothing - they are still in the briefing room now, talking openly about how to improve the car, working collectively for the team."
Ted: I was going to say that the atmosphere within the team seems to be exactly the same and they know not to collide, don't they, because we've been there before in Turkey and they will receive an almighty rollicking if they do collide?CH: "Absolutely, it's totally unacceptable for them to collide and they won't just be answerable to me, they'll be answerable to the six hundred people who give everything to provide these two cars. They know that, they understand that, and they've demonstrated on numerous occasions that they can race wheel-to-wheel. Occasionally, we get situations that are difficult, and in the last race the difficulty was managing those tyres through the race."
