Mark Webber breaks through for first F1 win

[vmx42]

… about post #20 they go into 'we luv u Seb' pre-pubestant stuff

That's because they were written before the incident…

I love the comment by Marko  that Vettel was 'at least 2 meters in front of Webber'. Just shows why he was such a crap F1 driver him self - no depth perception [and wonderful German people skills].

What a PR disaster that could have been fixed with a simple appology. Sorry I f#%ked up!!

Canada is going to be worth watching though…

After years of thinking that Webber was an overrated pretender, I'm now considering joining the rest of Australia on the 'I always knew Mark Webber was good' band wagon. His latest performances either show that he's found some ability to avoid trouble that has been previously not evident or that the Red Bull car is so much better than the opposition it's turned him into a winner. I personally suspect a bit of both.
Sebastian Vettel either had a monstrous brain fade or deliberately tried to take 'our Mark' out. 'Our Mark' has perfect right to be pissed off but if I was his advisor I'd be warning him against any get evens as they more time than not have a reverse effect, as the Vettel kiddie found out in Turkey.
Shumachers taught the lad well.

Yeah I agree. When open wheelers touch normally both come off second hand. I think Weber was exceptionally lucky.

I'm not an avid F1 watcher or expert but from what I saw I thought Vettle purposely turned into Weber. It probably started as a genuine, if ambitious, overtake but their was a definite steering effort/turn in at the last when he was next to Weber. If it was deliberate and willful or brain fade I don't know .

But it is the human side during the aftermath that has become interesting. Smacks of Daze of Our Lifes .

I agree, it was probably 'just one of those things' that happen in racing. If he just grew a 'pair' and manned up and appologised it would all be over with by now.

It will be interesting to see how the situation is 'managed' from here on in. I am sure the simple solution won't be the chosen option - not enough spin for F1.

…oh and please, please, please can we agree to never again call him - "Our Mark Webber"*.

I also hope he was never a 'little Aussie battler", or "a Working Australian" or the "Mate" of a mainstream talkback radio host or politician. At least he can never be a "Golden Girl" or "Super Mum".

But most of all if I hear him described as a "Hero" I will scream the walls down.

These are simple requests. Please, please, please grant me these simple requests - it is not too much to ask [is it?].

*Yes, I do realise that Firko was taking the piss…

If I was in Webbers position I would have done the same thing and squezzed him inside and hoped vettel backed off

If I was in Vettels position I would have done the same thing and turned right to get on the right line for the corner and hoped webber backed off

Its racing!! 2 guys going for the same piece of track. most times someone blinks, sometimes no one does

All this talk of "he had the line" or "he had right of way" is a load of shit.

I want Webber to win the championship however Vettel might have lost the battle but the War isn't over, I bet Webber gives him a bit more room next time

[mx250]

I always say , when the frontwheel gets through the rest will follow 

I say, if you crash and I don't, it must have been my corner. .

[mx250]

I bet Webber gives him a bit more room next time

I'll bet it will be 'more of the same' .

I'll also bet it will be the team manager screaming his tits off at both of them .

Well the one thing they have both done is given Red Bull what now must be tens of millions of dollars advertising

Like the drink or not (my case not)

" come on !!!!!" Mark webber has got better since he used his Sheep gloves with the Velcro on. "come on!!!" our Mark the little Auzie battler

[monaro308]

My view is that neither did anything wrong,just that Vettel failed to use the silly mirrors and turned in too early on "Aussie Mark Webber"
What gets my goat is that Vettel wasn't man enough to admit that he f@#ked up.....simple.
He had a few followers,but now i think people can see through the immaturity that he is showing.

[Lozza]

After 'our' Mark Webber had the monumental flip over in Spain and Red Bull 'took his wings'* in GB he does very well at Silverstone.If looks could kill, Vettel would be dead, Mark after qualifing.Was a nice bit of driving in the first turn and certainly 'man'd up' his team mate.

Yeah great "shepard" by "Aussie Mark Webber" to keep his position and stuff up Seb's first corner and race/win.
I love his comment just after the finishline through his 2way radio....."not bad for a number 2 driver!"
That would have pissed off Horner and his comrades ,was it a return with "keep smiling Mark" ??
Alonso can't take a trick at the moment....someone doesn't like him.

Good on 'Queanbeyan born' Marc Webber for his win. I hope he can keep the wheels on the tarmac for long enough to reel in Hamilton and maybe win the Championship.

I still can't help thinking that if Webber's winning GP's, the gene pool in F1 must be at an all time low.

Or you could just be wrong about him.
