Mark Webber breaks through for first F1 win

[Lozza]

Congrats to Mark Webber who has been hammering away at his dream for what seems like an eternity. Mark is not from the usualy F1 driver mould he's a country lad from Queanbeyan. He survived that horrendous double back flip at Le Mans at 200mph, given a F1 start by fellow Aussie Paul Stoddart in the minow Minardi team, then suffered some heartbreaking DNF's then finaly hit paydirt with the Red Bull team only to get knocked off his pushie and breaking a leg in his charity event. Hope he has many more wins be for he hangs up his lid.The Twostroke Institue dips it's hat to Mark Webber.

He certainly got excited about it didn't he . Or was it disbelief .

Just go's to show that at least one individual has some passion left in F1, unlike the other money hungry Muppets that purport to run the circus.

I really didn't think he had a win in him. Good on him being an Aussie and all but I don't think he's going to be one of the greats. Too many DNFs for my liking and you can't blame the car for all of them.

i could always see he was a pretty good quick driver but oh so often let down by the car. Well done on his first win. Undfortunately i missed it but i think there might be a replay on ONE HD?

Seems Mark is kicking some arse in F1 this year. HERE is his pole lap which lokks like it has been speeded up it is so frigging quick. Them walls look mighty close to at that pace.

I never thought Weber was much good....too many DNFs and not all of them due to the inadequate equipment he'd been driving. Thankfully I mat yet be proven wrong as he really does seem to be getting his act together. I'll have a bit of a looky at Monaco tonight. Although my passion for F1 is dwindling these days, I always watch the Monaco GP.

On tonights news they reported rumours that Mark Weber may sign with Ferrari. That'll be interesting.

How good is the Monaco F1 race.  It's the only F1 race I stay up to watch. 

[Lozza]

I like the wide open spaces of Spa Francorchamps much more, the appeal of Monaco is it's complete 'irrelevance' these days. Bernie keeps it on the calendar mainly because on those big flash boats are where all the deals are done. 

[LWC82PE]

There is certainly no room for error or passing on that track is there.

I love the on board shots of the way they accelerate in to the tunnel that goes through a sweeping right hand blind bend accelerating the whole time. Now that's commitment .

Aussie Mark Webber does it again!
I tipped the safety car to win before the start of the race 

[firko]

Good win.......Whoever drives the Merc safety car can drive too!

A good sporting weekend, the Waskally Wabbits FLOGGED the Tigers, The Tahs got up , young Jessica sailed into Sydney and now Mark Webber....who'd live anywhere else?

[shortshifter]

Didn't he win once and get a couple of podiums last year?

[TooFastTim]

Yeah, he won the German GP last year.
