Red Bull have decided to start Mark Webber from the pit lane for
Sunday’s 2013 Formula 1 UBS Chinese Grand Prix. It follows Webber’s
demotion to the back of the grid for a fuel rule infringement in
qualifying.
A refuelling problem meant the Australian was forced to stop on track in Q2. Stewards then deleted his qualifying time - good for 14th on the grid - after they were unable to extract the obligatory one-litre fuel sample from his car following the session.
Faced with a charge through the field, Red Bull then opted to remove Webber’s RB9 from parc ferme - thus obliging him to start from the pit lane - in order to change its gearbox and revise its set-up to give him more straight-line speed and a better chance of overtaking rivals in the race.
