Former Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber says Sebastian Vettel may regret his role in the Multi-21 drama, but the Australian wasn't an 'angel' himself. Multi-21 was the Malaysian Grand Prix in which Vettel Webber was not allowed to overtake, but he did.

Red Bull time

To this day, Webber is not sure whether or not Vettel regrets his role in the controversy. Webber does acknowledge that he wasn't an 'angel' himself during the time he drove with Vettel at Red Bull.

"I was leading, and actually to be completely frank, Seb was… sort of out of position, if you like, from the early calls in the race, and trying to clear Lewis [Hamilton] during the Grand Prix", Webber said to David Coulthard at F1 unscripted. "One of my biggest regrets: I should have turned my engine right back up [when Vettel started attacking him]."

Sorry or not?

"Deep down, who knows if Sebastian still to this day regrets that particular Grand Prix? Maybe he doesn’t, I’m not sure. But look, I wasn’t an angel at certain other events here and there," concludes Webber.
