Horner hits out at late response of marshals after fire engulfs Webber's car in Korean GP

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has expressed frustration at the 'age' it took marshals to get to Mark Webber's blazing car at the Korean Grand Prix, after he was bumped off the track by Force India's Adrian Sutil.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian Webber, who had earlier suffered a puncture when the tyre of McLaren's Sergio Perez exploded, climbed free from the burning RB9 and was left staring at the car as flames quickly swallowed it up.

Horner said that it was a great shame to lose Mark, who would have been on the podium otherwise, adding that it was somewhat frustrating to see their car on fire for what seemed to be an age.

Webber, who is in his final year in formula one and a crowd favourite in Korea, was unharmed, hitching a lift back to the paddock on a motorbike to be greeted by a throng of photographers, the report said.
