Lewis Hamilton led a McLaren one-two after an extraordinary clash between Red Bull's Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel at the Turkish Grand Prix.
The incident happened on lap 40 of 58 when Vettel flew off the track after colliding with Webber in an attempt to take the lead from his team-mate.
Hamilton's team-mate Jenson Button briefly passed him on lap 50 only for Hamilton to repass at the next corner.
Webber finished third while Mercedes's Michael Schumacher was fourth.
The Red Bull team, led by team principal Christian Horner, looked at their screens in horror as Vettel careered off the track while Webber, who also flew off, was forced to come into the pits to have his damaged nose-cone replaced.
"I dived down the inside and I had the corner," said Vettel.
"I was just trying to get the braking point and suddenly I lost the car. You can see we touched.
"I'm not the kind of guy who pushes the fault to one guy. We are a team and we have to respect that."
Webber believed that the German had turned right too soon.
"Seb had a big top speed advantage," said championship leader Webber, who is now on 93 points, five ahead of second-placed Button.
"He went down the inside. It looked like he turned pretty quick right and we made contact. Not an ideal day. The McLarens were solid today. Neither of us wanted to make contact with each other but it can happen sometimes."
Horner was left unimpressed with the incident.
"They should never have been where they were," said the Red Bull chief.
Q: Do you regret there are no team orders anymore? HM: Well, we thought that we had two responsible drivers who wouldn’t get into such a situation in the first place.
Q: Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said he didn’t believe it was Vettel’s fault. Is this the official opinion of the team? HM: Well, in the situation Sebastian was in, he had no other choice than to act the way he did.
Q: How will the team respond? HM: We will carefully analyse the situation and sit down with all involved to have a serious word about what happened and how to handle situations like that in the future.
Q: Is it true that the team gave instructions to Mark Webber’s race engineer to let Sebastian Vettel pass because otherwise Lewis (Hamilton)would be able to overtake? HM: That is not correct, because that would mean a team order. We informed Mark about the situation and it is for the driver to decide. The fact is that if Sebastian hadn’t passed he would have been overtaken by Hamilton.
Q: Why was Sebastian so much quicker than Mark so suddenly? HM: I think it was in the tyres.
Q: Have you received a phone call from Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz? HM: Yes. What does the Queen say? We are not amused? That’s what he said…that he was not amused!

Mark Webber took a dominant victory for Red Bull at the Spanish Grand Prix as McLaren's Lewis Hamilton lost second place in a dramatic finish.
Webber led from pole to flag, but Hamilton had out-raced Sebastian Vettel in the other Red Bull before a puncture forced the Englishman out.
That promoted Fernando Alonso's Ferrari to second, ahead of Vettel, who also hit trouble in the closing stages.
Mercedes's Michael Schumacher was fourth from Jenson Button's McLaren.
Vettel looked to have lost third place when he ran into problems in the closing laps.
The German came into the pits after running off the track with 12 laps to go following a brake failure, and when he rejoined, he was warned by his team that the problem was "critical" and that he needed to nurse his car to the finish.
Coach Joachim Loew on Thursday selected seven members of Champions League-finalists Bayern Munich for Germany’s World Cup squad including recalling veteran goalkeeper Hans-Joerg Butt.
