Christian Horner has attempted to distance the management at the World Champion team from Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko's criticisms of Mark Webber, insisting they remain "very happy" with the veteran Australian's performances.
Although Webber had addressed the criticism of him on his personal website last week, Sunday's launch marked the first time the 36-year-old had been asked about the comments in public. The nine-times GP winner insisted he still felt he had the complete support of the team required to mount another title challenge in the forthcoming campaign. "I think I can have a crack at the championship again this year - as I have done in previous seasons. So that is my goal and that's what I'm getting up each day and thinking about and working hard with the team on doing that," Webber declared. "They [the team] know that I need 100% support. You cannot fight for World Championships with 90, you need 100, and that's what we're going in to 2013 with this in place and I'm comfortable with that."
