Well, if Webber is going to do anything this season, he'll have to do it on his own. Time Switch the brain on again like he did in Spain and Monaco, cut out the silly errors from trying too hard, and try to simply outrace Vettel. Seems the only way the team will support him is if he gets far enough in front of his teammate that they are forced to put support him or risk losing the championship.
Hear ! Hear! Give that man a scotch! :DQuote:

Do you know why I respect Todt so much. He was unapologetic about how the teams are in Ferrari. Ron Dennis and now Horner sugarcoat things. At least, Todt was brutal, but honest.
I total agree with you. Mclaren "save fuell". Todt response "move out of your way for Schumacher!!!! At least be honest. All the teams do the same but only Ferrari (days of schumacher) they have the guts to tell it the way it is, the truth.Quote:

I just hope Mark Webber beats his team-mate, with or without a new front wing.
Mansell and his engineer David Brown did their best efforts to alienate Patrese about how to set the active suspension on the FW14/14B; Piquet couldn't instigate team order he and his engineer played similar games with Mansell in the mid-80s and Honda allegedly favoured Piquet over Mansell.Quote:

Just watched an interview between James Allen and Mark Webber on the Australian pre-race show and, i'm paraphrasing a little here to shorten it down, but Webber's version of events basically went along the lines of:
"There probably isn't a lot between the two wings but we don't know for sure because we where still evaluation them, but basically Seb smashed his front wing during practice so they took the wing from my car, but i'm happy with my crew, they have done a really good job getting the car set up well for the race and look the other side of the garage took most of that work as well for Seb's car but thats life"
Sort of confirms those rumors we heard not that long ago that Seb is actually fairly useless at setting the car up and RBR are only really interested in keeping Mark around because he is a "team man" which is Austrian translation for "good at setting up the car for the lead driver"
I noticed that. Haven't heard reports of Webber's side using Vettel's set-ups at all..Quote:
