Webber only a qualifier?

[Hawkmoon]

Hawkmoon, if you were a F1 driver and had signed for a Team that had failed to build a competitive car, but thanks your skills you manage to start in 2nd or 3rd row...what would you do at the start ? Park the car and let anyone pass you or keep the position and try to defend it ?

He should defend his position to the best of his ability. He's very good at it too. The problem is that he always seems to be defending his position against a string of cars behind him and never seems to be the one attacking the car in front. It's a perception I have of him from watching him race for the last decade and I haven't seen enough evidence to the contrary to yet change my mind.

I'm sorry pino, your man's one of the quickest guys out there over a single lap but over 70, he's lacking something. To keep it on-topic, Webber is just as quick over 1 lap but always seems to find problems in the race. Reliability problems, accidents and bad luck seem to dog him on race day. Webber, like Trulli, will need to reverse this trend if he is to be remembered for more than his heroics on Saturday afternoons.

Maybe it would be a great idea if they swapped teams

Neither Toyota nor Jarno would love that

You didn't answer my question

more bad luck for Webber today.

looks like he is never gonna live up to his potential.

[Mandiblard]

Well he did manage an overtaking move at least, his move on Liuzzi was the only one I saw all race. Terrible track that is.

[AJP]

Webber will get a reliable car....especially for Monaco...I think both Webber and Coulthard will finish in the points at Monaco.

[Ranger]

They say you have to make your own luck... but this race was just tough when he retired 8 laps in and his team-mate had no fuel flap issues or reliability problems.

I think my coverage misssed that. Good move?

[millencolin]

bit hard to judge the guy when his car breaks after a handful of laps

i had a little wager with my dad saying that Webber's car will break within the first 10 laps. although i didnt want that to happen, at least i still made $5 out of my general misfortune

Will Webber become the greatest driver never to win a gp? thats whatim worried about...
