Horner: Vettel and Webber to get equal treatment

Following his German Grand Prix success, Mark Webber is closer than ever to Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel, both in terms of performance and world championship points. Webber is third in the standings on 45.5 to second-placed Vettel’s 47.

在德國站的勝利後，Mark Webber 在競爭力上還有積分方面都比之前更接近他的隊友Sebastian Vettel。Webber積分45.5排名第三，落後Vettel的47分。

But while championship leader Jenson Button may hope to gain from the Red Bull duo taking points off each other, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner insists the team won’t favour one driver unless a clear title favourite emerges.

但是目前積分領先者Jenson Button或許會希望可以在紅牛兩位車手之間的競爭中得利，紅牛車隊經理Christian Horner表示車隊會偏向哪一位車手直到爭冠態勢已經明顯的時候。

“We will continue to support both drivers equally,” Horner told Red Bull’s official website. “There’s only a point and a half between them, so obviously they are both in contention for the drivers’ championship. There’s a long way to go to catch up with Jenson Button.

"我們會公平的對待兩位車手"，Horner 向紅牛官網表示。"他們之間只差1.5分，所以很明顯的他們都在爭奪車手冠軍的行列中，在追上Jenson Button 前還有一段長路要走"。

“If and when we reach a point where there is a significant gap, or it becomes mathematically impossible for one of them to challenge for the championship, then they are both team players and one of them will play a supporting role should it be required. Our intention is to see both of them catch the lead Brawn as quickly as possible."

"除非遇到了明顯的表現差異，或是他們其中之一的奪冠希望只剩下數學上的可能性，那時如果有必要其中一位就要擔當協助的腳色。我們的目標是能看到兩位車手都能盡快的追上Brawn GP的車手"。

Indeed, rather than worrying about how evenly matched his drivers are, Horner is proud of what he considers to be the best pairing on the current Formula One grid, especially now that Webber appears to have bounced back from the broken leg he sustained during a pre-season cycling accident.

事實上，Horner很自豪他有現在F1最好的車手組合，而不用擔心他的車手之間的關係如何，特別是現在 Webber已經從季前的腿部手術中走出來了。

“Our drivers are both at the top of their game at different stages in their career and they are pushing one another very hard,” he concluded. “I think we’ve got the best driver line-up in F1 at the moment. I think it’s only now we are seeing Mark at the level of fitness he was at prior to his injury and his recent results show he is absolutely on the form of his life.

"我們的車手在他們的職業生涯不同領域中的頂尖人物，他們彼此間互相督促"，Horner結論說。"我想我們現在有F1最好的車手組合，我想現在我們可以看到Mark正是很健康的狀態，他已經從手術傷痛中走出來了，並且他現在的成績可以明顯反應出他的狀態非常好"。

“Sebastian is undoubtedly a star in the making. He shows remarkable maturity, given his lack of experience. He is a prodigious talent who will continue to get better. The best is yet to come from him. Both men are being treated with total fairness within the team and are supplied with identical equipment."

"Sebastian 無疑的是個上升中的明星，他展現印象深刻的成熟度，補上了經驗的不足。他驚人的天賦會讓他更進步，他還沒展現他最好的表現。兩位車手都受到車隊公平的對待，並且完全相同的支援"。

Webber and Vettel will be back in action for the team at next weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, which will take place at Budapest’s Hungaroring from July 24-26.

Webber 和Vettel 在下週的匈牙利站將再次上場，比賽將在七月24-26號在Budapest的Hungaroring舉辦。
