Mark Webber's father blasts Sebastian Vettel

Webber's father blasts Vettel

The father of Red Bull driver Mark Webber has admitted that it will take time for Sebastian Vettel to regain his son's "respect and trust".

Vettel ignored team orders to surpass his teammate during Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix, with the German claiming the victory at the expense of Webber.

"Up and down the pit lane Mark has not lost any credibility at all. It's probably Sebastian who has lost an awful lot," Alan Webber told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

"I think it will take a while to earn the respect and trust again. Sebastian disobeyed team orders and most, if not all the team, are disappointed with him."

The win in Malaysia was Vettel's 27th career race victory.
