Red Bull have decided to hand Mark Webber one of his team-mate's old chassis instead of trying to salvage the one the Australian damaged in Valencia.

Webber was involved in a high-speed crash at the European GP in which he rammed into the back of Heikki Kovalainen's Lotus, catapulting his car into the air. Despite the tremendous impact of the crash, Red Bull may have been able to salvage the chassis, but according to Autosport, the team will instead give Webber Vettel's former chassis.

The number three chassis was a troublesome one for Vettel, who reported after the Monaco GP that he was unhappy with the framework of the car.

On investigation Red Bull discovered that there were faults with the chassis but these have now been repaired.
