Watson: 'Vettel and Webber will clash again'

Former Formula 1 driver John Watson believes that teammates Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber will clash again before the end of the season.

Vettel ignored team orders and overtook Webber on the way to winning the Malaysian Grand Prix in March, prompting an angry response from the Australian driver.

Red Bull later revealed that the issue had been sorted, but Watson has insisted that issues between the two will arise in the coming months.

Watson told BBC Sport: "The Malaysia thing has been swept under the carpet. I don't know how long it can stay there.

"I suspect we will still see ructions at races later in the year."

Vettel currently leads the World Championship by 10 points, while Webber is down in fifth position.
