Webber from the pits

Mark Webber ran out of fuel in yesterday’s qualifiers, making him qualify for 14th place. They couldn't lose much at Red Bull anymore, so they took the Australian car and a piece of farm and made some modifications to it. This means that Mark will start today's race completely from the beginning, or even from the pits. The chances of breaking through to the top are small, but a long race awaits us.

In qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix, Mark Webber was stopped by a lack of fuel in the car. The Australian was given too little fuel by mechanics due to a fault in the refueling device, which forced him to park his car right next to the track in the middle of the second part of the qualifications. There was no prescribed amount left in the race car to take the sample, so the commissioners excluded the Red Bull racer from the qualifiers, causing the race to start from the background. Before the start of the race, Red Bull announced that the Australian will start the race from the pits, after they changed the gearbox on his car.

We didn't leave much room. In the end I wanted too much. I felt my race car was better. I took the lead from Mark, which upset him. I wanted to be honest and be honest with him I took a lot of risks to overtake him. I should have managed better. Probably my apology doesn't do him much good.

  Mark Webber was very critical of his Red Bull teammate, Sebastian Vettl, after the race for the Malaysian Grand Prix. The current world champion is said to have arbitrarily ignored the agreed plan for the race and thus secured the victory. Webber led most of the 56 laps of the long race in Kuala Lumpur, and was pushed to second place in the final laps of the race by Vettel. The Australian claims that this happened after he was informed by the team that the powertrains in the red bull race cars are limited. "After the last match, the team informed me that the race was over. We limited the engine so that we could cruise to the finish line without excessive fuel consumption and unnecessary material wear. I also wanted to race, but the team decided that we were in stage of the race, which I still agree on before the start

Host Mark Webber won his first training session with Red Bull before the Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang. His best time was 1: 36.935. The Australian was 0.068 seconds faster than Melbourne winner Kimi Raikkonen. Sebastian Vettel was third. The typically hot and humid weather forced the teams to think tactically, and so for the most part they decided to procrastinate by using a harder rubber compound for as long as possible. The first fast laps were recorded after about thirty minutes. Raikkonen ran into some technical problems before and after his fast lap. He was bothered by KERS and the gearbox. Nevertheless, Finc managed to set a better time than Vettl, who drove 21 laps, which was the most in this training session. Fernando Alonso was Ferrari’s top-ranked racer.

Nico Rosberg, who stopped at the track with a broken gearbox towards the end of training, was third.

Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean were fourth and fifth. Fernando Alonso finished sixth in training with the Ferrari F138.
