But can a girl cook a webber?

I think he is doing awesome - was a pity we couldn't see him get a placing over here at Albert Park.

Great to see him getting some good support from the AUS public now too.

Go Webber!

He has always been a briliant driver, qualifiing in th top ten even in ****e cars. It's been either poor team decisions or the car holding him back. His starts were a bit icy and usually dropped a spot but is now starting to nail it. Not doing to bad considering they have slow engines .

You have this turned up too high:

yes, 4 times too high I believe.

^^Thats what I was thinking last night at the pub, no one knocked him last night but the week before they were all over it, I have been a fan of his since he raced at Le mans, great driver and Im glad he has a good car under him now

Up until this season, I believed Webber was just good enough to be a nuisance and keep him in the game. He is on song now Hope he can maintain the hunger.
Something happened behind the scenes three races back. He had a dud raceI think he switched on right then to get to the top and bloody stay there.
He isn’t as close to Vetal as he was in regards to close teammates, evident when he completes a race. No walking over to team mate and swapping war stories on the finish grid as he did last season and early this season.
His mental toughness has held him strong

Personally I think the turning point was Malaysia (I think) this year when he out qualified Vettel. Webber got an ok race start but not as good as Vettel (from 2nd or 3rd on grid). Webber moved over slightly but left the door fairly open, naively not expecting his team mate to dive bomb down the inside...which is exactly what he did. Vettel went on to win that race but something in Webber's head clicked along the lines of "going to be like that is it". In the two races since where RBR have been one and two in qual he has been much more aggressive in blocking Vettel, as he should be, and he's won the last two races because of it.

At the end of last season Vettel was starting to get a bit of Hamilton esq arrogance when winning and it continued into this season when he won early. Now, as I expected, he looks like a kid who has had his lolly pop stolen, total withdrawn look of boredom at the press conferences and I imagine he and Webber's relationship is somewhat less friendly. I think if Webber does beats him in a few more races he can mentally break the kid and hopefully go on to win the championship!

He has always been, in my opinion, in the top 3 drivers on the grid in terms of 1 lap speed but has always lacked race consistency and has been let down by equipment a lot for whatever reason. He now seems to have the consistency under control and he has utterly dominated the last two races. Hopefully Webber 2010 WDC, he'd be a deserving champion I reckon and imagine the radio chat if that ever happened...it would be hilariously Australian like when he won his first race.

^ You'd have to admit that for years whenever he qualified well he'd crash on the first corner. You could bet on it.

Alternately his car would fail.

...Like Le Mans. Sheesh, he has had more bad luck with cars than himself, I suppose.

Still, that was pretty cool:

(it was twice in that race, right?)

so he was a kiter before he took up driving

mMMm Webber.....

Whoops, I seem to have a stuttering problem It's those damn I phones, the screens to small.

Any way, what a hat trick for pole
Should be a good race tomorrow but with Seb in his draft on the grid and Lewis beside them in a quicker straight line car it will be a nervous run to the first corner, fingers crossed for Webber. Glad his getting better at blocking.

Webber got shafted by his team driver,what a wank he should walk up and clip him on the end of his nose.

Not sure Vettel is the second fiddle driver, they went in to this race even on points.

In terms of teams working together, either Red Bull should have chosen one of their drivers to back for the championship, and the other driver does play second fiddle, or they should allow the faster car to win races. In this case Vettel was considerably faster then Webber (Webber had already been told to put the car into a 'fuel saving' mode, Vettel had not), and was put in a position where to avoid being overtaken by Hamilton, he had to make a risky move on his slower team mate.

Nar, cant agree . He may have been faster, but no overtaking move warrants a move like Vettel executed.
Vettel needs to stand up as a highly qualified F1 driver and admit, he just plane stuffed up. No ifs or buts about it, he made the wrong move at the wrong time, and pulling moves like that in such a high level sport at speed, is reserved for juniors in go-carts.
Reminds me a bit like Shoemaker and the way he took out Mansel who was also a threat to his championship
Vettel is lucky he hasn't be suspended by F1

i agree mineral.

vetel had the inside line and webber gave him room to overtake up the inside. if V held his line he had the lead. he obviously had a brain melt down.

cracker season so far.
