"Max is 100% doing this next time": F1 fans look back at the Sebastian Vettel-Mark Webber rivalry on the 10th anniversary of 'Multi-21'

Looking back at the infamous 'Multi-21' incident, which occurred during the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix between Red Bull teammates Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, fans feel that something similar could occur between the drivers in the Austrian team's current lineup as well.

A decade ago on this day, with Vettel and Red Bull having already won three consecutive world championships, something unexpected happened at the Malaysian GP.

The German started round 2 of the season in pole position and Webber was back in P4. However, the Australian soon took the lead in the race.

By the end of the race, Vettel was instructed to follow the 'Multi-21' instruction - not to overtake his teammate and conserve tires. However, with 13 laps remaining, the German disobeyed the orders and attacked his teammate, ultimately winning the race.

Vettel received huge backlash for the same, but some believed that his actions were justified.

Fans compare Max Verstappen's actions to Sebastian Vettel's from a decade back

It would be wrong to say that Red Bull has not been in similar trouble since 2013. Recently, there have been some heated arguments between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, who form the Austrian team's current lineup.

On the 10th anniversary of the 'Multi-21' incident, fans took to Twitter to say that something similar would happen again between Red Bull's current drivers.

"Max is 100% doing this next time, I need it, we need it," one user tweeted.

"I guess that, in Vettels mind, it was payback..." another user wrote.

Vettel justified his decision to disobey team orders at the 2013 Malaysian GP owing to the events of the title-deciding race of 2012 in Brazil. The German feels that Webber battled him into turn 1 at the start of the race, which ultimately led to him colliding with Bruno Senna, making the race extremely hard for him.

Vettel finished the race in P6 and ended up beating Fernando Alonso - who finished P2 - to the world championship by just three points. It is thought that what he did in Malaysia was payback for Brazil.

Meanwhile, Verstappen and Perez had a heated moment in Sao Paulo just last season. During the race, Verstappen was told to give the position to Perez to finish ahead in the race. The Dutchman had already been crowned world champion and was expected to comply. However, he disobeyed the orders and Perez was stuck behind him.

Despite what happened there, both drivers still share a decent relationship, unlike Vettel and Webber.
