Re: Goodbye and thanks Mr Webber!
The race was such typical Webber, really bad start, some great overtaking moves (one on Hamilton and two on Alonso nonetheless) and some great fast laps with the fastest lap, but unable to match or beat Vettel.
He went out in style, and in form. Unlike say Barrichello who never accepted when the time had come, or many others (DC etc) who crashed in their last race.
And let's not forget that he was *this* close to being WDC in 2010 and was ahead of Vettel for nearly all of the season. Alas...
He won't be remembered as one of the F1's greatest, but he certainly was a great driver who achieved more than most. His sense of humour and "straight" talk made him a very popular character in the paddock and among the fans, and he will surely be missed. Well done Mark, and good luck.Iceman: Adjective 1)Rapid, swift 2)Nickname of Kimi-Matias Räikkönen, a legendary Formula 1 driver

I never really warmed to this guy (you can say most Aussies in sport apart from Warnie and Gilchrist) but I must say he was a tough, honest and talented racing driver. Perhaps could have won more in a different era/team. Still a good F1 career even though it took a while to get going.
Horner could have curbed his lovefest with Vettel a bit at the end and perhaps given Mark a better send-off?Tito Vilanova = :champion:

I'm now starting to feel old. Mark is only a year older than I am and I was right there, at his first GP in Melbourne when he finished fifth in the Minardi and the partisan Aussie's almost dragged him to the podium. It was a great moment though, it doesn't seem almost 12 years ago, but sadly it is.
He is a good, ordinary bloke and his sound-bites will be missed from F1.Real Race Cars Dont Have Doors....

Re: Goodbye and thanks Mr Webber!
Get Clarkson in the second seat at RB! I want to see how mashed up his face would look driving that with no helmet
I guess it's still nice feeling, although I believe him that his focus is championship points and he drove fast in sunday to beat Neuville, not Ogier. I assume he would not celebrate as much if he...
