Mark Webber

I'm a little puzzled as to why Webber doesn't have a page in the teams and drivers section, as Webber is a pivotal figure in the story upfront. There are questions that need to be asked. Why can Vettel win, and Webber struggle to get on the podium fighting Ferraris and McLarens? Why is the man that was noted as a good qualifier unable to get near Vettel? Did the leg break in late 2008 do him serious performance damage? and What should Webber do in the near future?

Mark Webber. Over to you...

If he ever gets to interview Vettel I reckon his first question will be "Okay Seb mate multi 21 what's your take on that buddy? whilst tightly gripping a champagne flute.

Let's hope he doesn't go for the "tighty-wighties" favoured by a certain other block-jawed ex-driver...

Would be nice to hear some anti-Vettel commentary for a change but I don't care. Sky will be where I'm watching as normal.

Mark Webbers Dream Team. Very Interesting.

Mark's had a big one at the 6 hour race in Sao Paolo.

 

[rufus_mcdufus]

He's alright thank goodness, but he seems to specialise in spectacular crashes doesn't he?

 

[Mephistopheles]

He bounces well..

 

[cider_and_toast]

They described his condition on the radio about an hour ago as "Satisfactory" what ever that's supposed to mean?

It's hard to tell exactly what happened from that clip but the car looks a right mess doesn't it?

 

[Titch]

Bruised and a bit battered. The car isn't going to go again!

 

[Bushi]

The car already seems facing the wrong way before hitting the wall.

 

[sushifiesta]

From the video it looks like the car behind independently had the same accident. Oil on track maybe?

 

[soccerman17]

Well those were some terrible replays. Hearing that Mark is fine, bruised and battered and doesn't remember anything from the accident but could be a lot worse.

 

[Dario Resta]

I recall he had a prang at the same spot in the Jaguar in 2003. Didn't he end up in the same place as well?

 

[teabagyokel]

When I saw it, his stunningly similar prang in 2003 sprang to mind. Although he hit and destroyed a tyre wall on that occasion.

 

[Mephistopheles]

That'll buff out..

 

[Mephistopheles]

I don't want my main man Button doing that type of racing it looks too bloody dangerous to me....

So just finished Mark Webber's auto biog Aussie Grit and would recommend it.

He's very honest about his abilities and performance and he comes across as very loyal to his partner and family.

His close friendships with Flavor, Bernie and Lance Armstrong do raise a few eyebrows though.

 

[Greenlantern101]

I'm amazed by the number of people that consider Bernie a close friend rather than a devious, manipulative, scheming megalomaniac.

So many minions twisted around his little finger.

RasputinLives Haven't read it myself but rumours were he was not so complimentary about the Red Bull management .

I am not surprised he like Alonso see Flavio Briatore in a different light to others because Flav was the one who got him the Red Bull seat and was responsible for helping his single seater career

I guess you can be friends with Bernie if you don't dare to cross his path
