THE GRAVEL TRAP

"Logic – Webber style

Never one to have a moan – OK, well maybe a little one from time to time – Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber has denounced his previous employers, Williams, as being nothing more than a Toyota ‘B’ team.

Without a hint of irony, Mark misses the point that by following that logic, he drives for Renault’s ‘B’ team and that Red Bull sister outfit Scuderia Toro Rosso is in fact a Ferrari ‘C’ team, with a car believed by Toyota’s ‘B’ team and Ferrari’s ‘C’ team to be a copy of the Renault ‘B’ team’s design…

Still with us? Thought not…"

He does complain an awful lot though...... but hes just made himself look like an idiot and RBR look idiotic also.... all before the season has even started!!!

Still, so far, renault a team much better than toyota a team, so marks move from toyota b team, formerly cosworth a team to renault b team does makes sense.... i think

I think it was just the Hypocrisy of Mark bitching about williams being a B-team for having a TOyota engine now..... its a shame he doesnt look under the bonnet of the Red Bull.....

Had alot of respect for Weber before... but its fizzing out..... turning into an Irvine without the charisma....

The best thing he's done in Formula 1 so far was crashing at that brazil race (2004 i think) in his jaguar that ended up having Alonso hitting one of his wheel tethers and slamming him into the barrier at about 160 mph....... Alonso first major smash up i'd say (stand to correction though)... something like that brings a driver out of their shell getting their first smash up over with.....

Well i had much more time for irvine at jaguar than mark webber, so wouldn't compare them, irvine had their two podium finishes plus a couple of forth and fifth place finishes. Webber never finished higher than sixth with the team and while he qualified well a few times and brought the car home, for me he was disapointing. Somebody like Irvine justified being in a top car like the Ferrari, for me I would be disappointed to see Webber get a top drive given his past results.

Apparently according to the Autosport mag, Weber has only a 1 year contract with RBR, Fisi has only got a 1 year contract... and since Flav is Webers manager....... chances are, he probably will... unless that Piquet kid shines through testing etc...

I actually have a lot of time for Webber, he's a good team driver, for Williams he had a LOT of bad luck, and I have never seen him once blame the car or engineers for DNFs... definitely frustrated at Williams, but unlike Button at Honda knew to keep his mouth shut, every post-incident interview I expected him to blow his fuse, but never did.

Past results don't really say anything, as the Williams has been an absolute dog for the past few years, and he's still beaten both heidfeld and rosberg in terms of championship points... and was he actually Irvines team-mate at Jag? was webber not in minardi then?
