The FIA increased the maximum penalty that can be imposed by formula one stewards from $100,000 to EUR 250,000 in Paris on Friday - altering the international sporting code in the process.
But Red Bull's Dietrich Mateschitz insists that team orders between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel will not apply in the remaining two races of this 2010 F1 World Championship.
"What Ferrari did, we certainly will not. It means that in the worst case, we are not world champions -- but then there is always next year," the Austrian billionaire told Kleine Zeitung newspaper.
Vettel confirmed that team orders have not been discussed behind closed doors in Brazil. "My team boss has said nothing. I will drive my race and try to win. If I cannot be first, I want to be second, and if I cannot be second, I want to be third," Vettel told the Bild.
What Red Bull did, however, is advise Mark Webber to put his focus back on track. "If I had a message for him, it would be 'Let's focus on the racing'," said Red Bull's team boss Christian Horner.
Horner admitted he was disappointed and surprised with Webber suggesting in Brazil it is "f***ing obvious" that Sebastian Vettel receives the bulk of the emotional support despite the points situation.
He dismissed the histrionics so far this weekend as "mind games" and a push for a favourable team strategy, but advised Webber to instead work hard to beat his teammate on merit.
The apparent disunity is also a psychological gift to Red Bull's championship rivals, with championship leader Fernando Alonso admitting that he is happy with the situation.
Meanwhile, 71-year-old Sir Jackie Stewart, who won his first of three drivers' world championships in 1969 at the age of 30, argues Sebastian Vettel is too young and immature to win the 2010 world championship.
He also advised Red Bull to take a strategic approach to the last two races of 2010 and "put all [their] chips on Webber."
