Sebastian Vettel insists his relationship with Mark Webber is "misunderstood" and that all he expects from his Red Bull team-mate is mutual respect.
It is a matter of public record that the pair are not close friends, but Vettel insists there is not a serious rift between the two, even after Webber ignored team orders to hold position behind him at the British Grand Prix.
"In the end it doesn't interest me who my team-mate is, as long as he or she is honest and we respect one another," Vettel told news agency DPA ahead of his home race at the Nurburgring. "Many people have misunderstood the relationship between Mark and myself. Even if we aren't best friends, we do respect each other."
Team boss Christian Horner recently ruled out Lewis Hamilton joining the team on the basis that it might disturb the "harmony" at Red Bull.
"It is talked about a lot," Vettel admitted, "because definitely team harmony is very important. But you also need two drivers who push each other to constantly explore the limit."
