The BBC commentator and ex F1-racer Martin Brundle commented that he sees no quick end to Red Bull's new self-induced crisis caused by Sebastian Vettel's crash at Istanbul Park with race leader and teammate Mark Webber.
"I doubt that trip across the Atlantic for the next round in Montreal will extinguish these fireworks.


The Sun's headline referred to the one-two gift handed to McLaren, toying with the energy drink's slogan by insisting "Red Bull gives you wins".


"Red Bull has a conflict of jealously and betrayal," said El Mundo newspaper in Spain.


Italy's La Repubblica likened the previously dominant team's self-destruction to "suicide".


Britain's The Independent referred to the fact that Webber, branded crazy by Vettel's gesture and told by his bosses that he should have let the young German past, must now have the impression he is the number two driver.
Webber acknowledged that Vettel's gestures were caused by the "adrenalin" of the moment, but "Red Bull need to take steps to ensure the current world championship leader can have complete faith that the support within the team is spread evenly", said the newspaper.


And Germany's Auto Motor und Sport noted that the 33-year-old is "not the kind of guy who is told to finish second".
