Red Bull team principal Christian Horner admits that Sebastian Vettel ignored instructions and took the race into his own hands in today's Malaysian Grand Prix.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has admitted that Sebastian Vettel took the Malaysian Grand Prix into his own hands and ignored instructions.

Vettel and teammate Mark Webber were told to hold their positions by the team, but the German raced ahead and secured the win.

Although a huge success for Red Bull, Horner described the win as "hugely uncomfortable", but claimed that it is difficult to control with such competitive drivers.

"They took it into their own hands, which was uncomfortable for us - we gave them instructions to hold station but Sebastian took it into his own hands to win the race - he wanted to win," Horner told Sky Sports.

"They've raced each other hard before - they're very good drivers. There are points at stake and they both want to win. For the team it's hugely uncomfortable.

"It's difficult when you have two competitive drivers like ours. It's difficult to watch because you could end up giving up 43 points. You have to remember there's two elements to F1 - there's a Drivers' Championship and a Constructors' Championship."

Webber accused Red Bull of giving Vettel protection following the race.
