Vettel deserved the victory - Webber
The Malaysian pole-sitter, Mark Webber, said after the race that his Red Bull Racing team mate deserved victory at the Sepang International Circuit. Vettel, who started from third position, took the lead from Webber at the first corner.
Webber said: "We know these days with the strategy and the way the race unfolds the first part of the race is crucial. I got a little bit of wheel-spin and on the run to first corner Seb had a big tow.
"I didn't really know where Nico was either, I didn't know whether to go middle or left, so I braked late, I had a bit of a better exit and the fight continued up to Turn 4.
"We had a chat with Christian Horner at start and he said 'Behave yourselves' and we did. The spirit and chemistry in our team is awesome. It was a good fight today but he deserved the victory."
