After five races and a victory so far this season, Vettel is 18 points behind Brawn driver Button's lead, and 7.5 points clear of the occupant of the sister RB5, Mark Webber. "If it is clear that one of our drivers is fighting for the world championship, then we will have to concentrate on him," Horner is quoted as saying by the Austrian news agency APA. Horner, however, hastened to add that Australian Webber, 32, is "one of the most underestimated drivers" on the formula one grid. But in Germany's Sport Bild, he contrasted the pair by remarking that Vettel "drives despite his unbelievable speed very economically, using less fuel" than Webber. Horner is not sure Vettel is the favourite to win in Monaco, though. "Anything with a high-speed corner will be good for us, so I think Monaco is more Brawn-territory," the Briton acknowledged.
