At Williams, Webber's input was wasted. He wasn't taken seriously. It reminded me of Heinz-Harald Frentzen at Jordan. Here was a guy desperate to improve the car, willing to do whatever it might take to move the development forward, but he wasn't even listened to. No one wanted to know. What a waste of talent and attitude, and no wonder Webber got discouraged. He'd been advised against Williams by Flavio Briatore, who until then he had always trusted. It gives me no satisfaction at all to admit that Flavio was right.
