Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has thrown fuel on the fire, saying if anyone has a right to cry conspiracy it's Sebastian Vettel.
Red Bull have once again been making headlines but for all the wrong reasons.
Despite winning the British GP last Sunday, the team was inundated with questions about their perceived favouritism towards Vettel after they handed the new specification front wing straight off team-mate Mark Webber's car.
Webber was furious with the team's decision and referred to himself as their "number two driver" when he took the chequered flag at Silverstone.
The team, though, has subsequently held clear-the-air talks, after which Webber conceded that perhaps he shouldn't have made that comment.
And one man who believes he definitely should not have, is Red Bull's advisor, Marko, the man who put the blame for Red Bull's Turkish GP shunt firmly on Webber's shoulders even though the entire world saw it differently.
"If Mark imagines there's a conspiracy between us and Vettel against him, then he is on the wrong track," Marko told Auto Moto und Sport.
"If I was Vettel then I would have suspected the opposite. Which car has permanently had something damaged?
"Did Mark have the defective spark plug in Bahrain, the loose wheel in Australia, the broken brake disc in Barcelona, the defective chassis in Monte Carlo, the transmission problems in Montreal and now the broken wing at Silverstone?"
But not content to end it there, Marko also believes Webber should be grateful to Red Bull, after all where was he two years ago.
"Mark is having a great season, and has also improved big time, but he should not forget that he owes much of this to the team.
"Where was he two years ago?
"Then he could not even dream of grand prix victories. Today, we have given him a car that he can win on his own."
The Austrian did, however, add that he doesn't care "who is champion, the main thing is that he is driving a Red Bull."
