Mark Webber is considering his future at Red Bull Racing after Sunday's Malaysian debacle but concedes it is still "early days" and "very raw."
Racing towards his first win of the season in Malaysia, Webber was overtaken by Sebastian Vettel with ten laps to go despite Red Bull having told both drivers to stay put.
In the immediate aftermath, a furious Webber accused Red Bull of protecting Vettel "as usual" while the German later apologised, admitting he "f***ed up."
But whether that holds any sway when Webber considers his future remains to be seen.
"I think it's very early days right now. It's very raw, obviously, and we need to work out how the team goes best forwards from here," said the 36-year-old.
"That's obviously going to be discussed this week. I will be in Australia on my surfboard - the phone won't be engaged.
"There were a lot of things in my mind in the last 15 laps of the grand prix, to be honest, so whether the medicine is enough we will see."
He added: "It puts a lot of heat on certain people for sure. Inevitably it does, because unfortunately there is no rewind button."

Christian Horner says Sebastian Vettel deliberately put his own agenda ahead of the team's as he overtook Mark Webber for the Malaysian GP win.
With ten laps to go, the reigning World Champ attacked Webber with the duo almost touching as Vettel grabbed the lead from his team-mate.
Asked why Red Bull did not order Vettel to give the position back to Webber, Horner toldAutosport: "Do you honestly think that if we had told him 'slow down and give the place back', he would have given it back?
"There was no point. He had made it quite clear what his intention was by making the move. He knew what the communication was. He had had the communication. He chose to ignore it.
"He put his interest beyond what the team's position was. He was focused on those seven points difference between second and first place - which was wrong. He has accepted it was wrong."
The team boss believes it is now time to put the matter to rest despite reports that Webber is considering his future with the team.
"I've spoken to both drivers and Sebastian has apologised to both Mark and the team," he toldThe Guardian.
"From our point of view as soon as that last pitstop was completed the instruction was given to both cars effectively to hold position. At that point Sebastian has chosen to ignore that.
"The driver is thinking about 25 points and we are thinking about the 43 points and we just want to close the result off.
"Obviously it wasn't right what he did, he accepts that, clearly said if he could wind the clock back he wouldn't do it again. That's the way it is. We need to put it behind us and move on."
He added: "Seb and Mark have been a pairing for five years and won three consecutive Championships together.
"They are one of the most successful pairings of all time. For sure, they've never been the best of mates and they are never going to spend Christmas together.
"There is a respect between the two of them and I am sure with a little bit of time to reflect we will quickly move on from this."
