formula 1

Mark Webber believes that Lewis Hamilton is not at the level of Sebastian Vettl and Fernando Alonso. The Australian said Vettel and Alonso are the best racers he has ever raced against, adding that during his time racing for Red Bull, Michael Schumacher did not have a comparable race car. “It’s hard to say, as we had to constantly adjust to the tires, qualifying for one quick lap and the like,” Webber said when asked who his biggest rival in Formula One was. "I'd say Seb and Fernando. It's hard for the latter to run for two whole hours, even though he's not at Seba's level when we're talking about one fast lap. But on Sundays they're somewhere on the same level. Hamilton isn't a fly either, but he's not even close." Alonso and Sebu, who are like a machine, they literally turn them on and immediately do their best

formula 1

Red Bull boss Christian Horner believes Mark Webber left the Formula One caravan just in time: “He left when he was still at the top and that will make everyone remember him as a strong racer. Even before coming on stage for the winners, I asked him if he really wanted to end his career as a Formula One racer, as he had done quite a few great overtaking, such as the one with Lewis. It's definitely good for him that he's gone at the peak of his career. ” “He became a very good racer, perfected himself and brought real results. He always worked well with the team, which helped to achieve phenomenal results. "

Otherwise, the Australian regained second place in the twentieth lap, but he could no longer make up for the half-minute lag behind Vettl. '' My start wasn't good. The soft tires did not work well before the first stop. The wear of the rear tires was too strong. It was better after the change, but Seb had already gained the advantage. I drove to the best of my ability, but Vettel was better today, '' Webber said on the winners' stage. After Malaysia and Japan, this is Red Bull’s third ranking on hk

formula 1

We learned via the social network Twitter these days that Mark Webber is supposed to drive his last Formula One race in Abu Dhabi. The Australian is really saying goodbye, but only at the end of this season. Anyway, unofficially, Daniel Ricciardo is already supposed to be driving for Red Bike in Texas. At Red Bull, they deny everything, because they are supposed to know nothing, says Franz Tost, the head of the team, Toro Rosso: “I don't know anything about Webber's departure after the upcoming race. I also don’t know that Ricciardo would have left the Toro Rosso team early.

Walker: Vettel took pity on me

formula 1

Legendary Formula One commentator Murray Walker said Sebastian Vettel took pity on him because, in his view, the German was not credited with the necessary credit for his successes. Vettel has won the last five races, and in the next race in India he can also win the fourth consecutive world title next weekend. But the Red Bull racer has been booed several times due to his dominance on the podium, which Walker does not find fair. “Vettel took pity on me,” Walker said. "Because of a good car, he is not credited with success. Less educated spectators claim that everyone would succeed in such a car, but Webber does not succeed, and he is a very good racer. Vettel is one of the greatest racers of all time." The biggest reason for the unpopular

Pole is a bit puffy for Webbra

formula 1

Although Mark Webber won his first best starting position this year, it doesn't have much weight for him, as the big favorite for pole position, Webbrom teammate Sebastian Vettel, ran into problems with KERS. Vettel showed form before the final part of the qualifiers, which hinted at another walk to the best starting point for tomorrow’s race, but problems with the KERS system recurred on his race car, making Webber’s job easier. “My circles weren’t bad,” the Australian explained. "You always want to drive even faster and better, but overall they were good. Still, this pole was a bit puffy as Sebastian otherwise drove a phenomenal lap. Still, I'm happy to start the race from first place, as opportunities are needed take advantage of whenever they occur, "he added
