I tend to agree with this to a certain extent but people have a point when they say he wasted it in Korea. The title was his if he didn't make that mistake and lose those 18 points. I felt gutted for him as I feel he was the better of the two RBR drivers that year and I do believe he deserves one title. There have been far lesser drivers than Mark whom have been world champion. I would love to see him be WDC. He's a gent and I've always had a lot of time for him.

It was also a year where his team made it very clear who they supported and wanted to win the title. Webber is a strong character and was in with a shot for much of the year but things were very tense at Red Bull after Turkey and Silverstone and it wasn't just the stuff on track he had to deal with. I think the pressure got to him towards the end though.

Yup, we all remember the Red Bull steals your wings incident!

I'll always remember his excuse for a crash a couple of years ago.

"I ran out of talent" :laugh:

Top bloke that tells it straight, fesses up when he's wrong and comes across as honest.

Spoken like someone who never watched the 2010 season.

I also disagree with his "gent" character. He's a crybaby, plain and simple. If he were teamed up with lewis for these last several years of his career and cried constantly the same way, he'd be derided by 95% of this message. Crying about vettel is A-ok, cause that's all they do, too.

But it was hilarious watching that smug cowardly putz crying about vettel not holding up team orders when he did the same umpteen times before.

Mark the chopper a gentleman?

The whiner, who isn't allowed to overtake? And can't manage to do it when he decides to go against the team?
Then whiner when his team mate, like himself, disobeys orders? And then chopping him at the end of the race?

Mark the chopper, who chops his teammate who is fighting for a championship in the final race of the season?
I don't understand how we went from a few years ago, everyone calling Webber a chopper and a dirty racer to this new level of respect he has. For being throughly thrashed by his team mate in the last few years.

Yes, what a gentleman indeed.

Sour grapes, how sad.

i like to see mark webber to win F1, he will thinks it will be good for him, thats why he leaving F1 for Porsche this year . Best of Luck Mark :)

Webber is not someone, who I would describe as a "gentleman". An interesting character, maybe, but gentleman is someone else. He would be exactly that - "gentle", which means good and caring in nature. Webber doesn't remind the word 'gentle', quite the opposite.

Massa, Kovalainen and Rosberg are the kind of drivers, who would fit the description of a 'gentleman' well. We hardly ever have a bad word to say about their characters. It's their driving we have an opinion about!

"smug cowardly putz" Righto...

Boring troll alert.

Maybe so, but he still was right there at Abu Dhabi. Can't say that Red Bull took away his title chance, because he had a chance to win it in the last race

I wasn't suggesting Red Bull hindered him or attempted to take away his title chance.

Yep, smug, cowardly, lying, putz is an adequate description of webber. That's who this thread is about, btw, not me.

Webber, the same guy who, after being given an order to not to try to pass vettel, said:

"Of course I ignored the team as I want to try and get another place,"

No man or woman who squeezes through Eau Rouge without lifting can ever be described as cowardly.

Qualifying is on so I must go back to watching the telly. :)
