No team orders at Red Bull in Malaysia

Red Bull has denied that it issued team orders to its drivers during Sunday's Malaysia Grand Prix.

Daniel Ricciardo led Max Verstppen to Red Bull's first one-two finish since 2013 after Lewis Hamilton retired fromt eh lead of the race.


"I thought we were going to have 'Multi 33' there at one point," Mark Webber, the former Red Bull driver who controversially lost a race win despite team orders seemingly securing it for him in Malaysia in 2013, said on the post-race podium.

But when asked if both drivers were free to race, Verstappen insisted: "Yeah, for sure.

"The team said we were free to race - but of course in a clean way. I think that's what we did."
