The Mark Webber Alternative Profession Thread
He's a bit pants really AND he's signed on for another year of it so maybe a change of career is in order ...

Re: The Mark Webber Alternative Profession Thread
A lot of whining that he does not get as much support from his team as Vettel does - basic fact is that he probably does, it's just that he's not as good as the German.

Re: The Mark Webber Alternative Profession Thread
I makes some people saner I guess. I watch the races in the hope of some decent action rather than expectation.
Right, enough of this, I can see the smoke from a bushfire and can smell smoke, these are two things that generally require a higher priority.
Going to be a long summer ...

Re: The Mark Webber Alternative Profession Thread
He is a good driver, just lost his comfort zone within the team i think. Maybe a new team would help sort him out - Vettels just another clone in the brilliant format
Personally a no brakes timed lap would be interesting

He does try bless him.
Off topic (ish). Speeds touching 332 kph were fairly impressive.

Yup, I suspect that Vettel has a large pair too ... If you can do this then you should be awarded the win there and then ...

Re: The Mark Webber Alternative Profession Thread
Poor old Webber, he doesn't have much luck does he. He drives me nuts when he pulls out a great qualifying result only to **** up the start of the race. Again.
Even though he's the pantomime villain we love to hate, it was good to see Schuey getting stuck in up near the front yesterday. Having 5 world champions fighting it out in the top 5 positions at times yesterday was pretty impressive. I'm betting that doesn't happen very often!

Actually, a rather nice framed Schumacher-themed picture is the only thing of mine left in the UK, I keep meaning to bring it over.
