Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has dismissed claims that Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat was asked to move aside for Max Verstappen.
Kvyat, driving for Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso, found himself defending from Red Bull's own Max Verstappen during the race, but was given a message reminding him he was racing McLaren's Fernando Alonso, which was seen by some as a coded message asking him to move aside.
"No they were racing each other," Horner insisted. "The points for Toro Rosso are just as valuable for us and I doubt Kvyat would have listened too much anyway."
"I thought it was good racing between the two guys. They are fighting for points for their battle in the Constructors’ championship," he added. "Danny drove firmly but fairly so I didn’t have any issue with it."
