Christian Horner says that Red Bull are discussing the incident between Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber behind closed doors.

Red Bull principal Christian Horner has admitted that Sebastian Vettel was wrong to ignore team orders and overtake teammate Mark Webber on the way to victory at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

The duo have clashed in the past, but the German further damaged their relationship before claiming victory in the Sepang on Sunday.

The reigning World Champion refused to obey team orders and proceeded to attack and pass race-leading Webber in order to gain the win, but Horner insists that the issue will be discussed behind closed doors.

"It wasn't right, what he did," said Horner. "He accepts that. I think he's clearly said if he could wind the clocks back he wouldn't do it again.

"He felt that he hadn't heard the call and that it was unclear to him what the instruction was.

"It's the type of thing we talk about behind closed doors. He and I have had the discussion already. Taking the emotion out of and with time to reflect, we'll have [another] discussion."

Vettel has since apologised to Webber for the incident but it is not clear whether or not the Australian has accepted it.
