Mark Webber Rated 6th

[88GreenVN]

No one's going to beat Button at Silverstone

The odds are stacking up tho - 6 out of 7 so far. The first fail is getting closer.

Button is on top of his game right now hey. A lot has to do with the man Brawn I think. He was behind lots of Schoeis success

The race may go like this:

Vettle out quallies Mark by 2 or 3 spots
Button is on pole
Barra is making up the numbers
McLaren just inside the top 10 - but only just
The red cars are no place and make the first hint of dropping KERS
A Toyota is shunted off in the first lap
Button takes the lead
Sutil passes a McLaren again
Vettle stops early again as do the Reno's
Wise old Mark Webber makes good stops and makes ground on the Brawn's
BMW still not making much progress with long first stints
THEN
Vettle crashes into Button with 2 laps to go with a stupid pass
Webber passes Barra on the last lap for a win...

All Aussie F1 Fans go mad.

BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP

Bloody alarm - who the helll set that.

Oh well better get to work

I reckon Shumacher is the only man in recent times able to drive a dog of a car fast :0 he did also have a good car behind him most of the time but he was allmost allways leagues in front of his team mates. It might rain at Silverstone Webber will like that .

Just remind me when it comes time for Spa because if I miss that I will cry. I've missed most of the races this season for no aparent reason, even when I knew they were on 2 hours before race start, next thing I know I'm like.... oh shit the race and it's over :S

[hingo1983]

Button is near flawless this season. Like Mark, Jenson has been driving crappy cars for years and deserves a chance. Good to see both him and Mark are now getting good results.

I'd rather just one win, as opposed to 'many' 2nds.

Ahh but remember Red Bulls test track is Silverstone, so like toyota at bahrain the red bulls should (not saying they will) have the edge over other competitors as brawn never had time to do any testing so they havent developed an aero setup/package for silverstone like redbull/others have

WEBBER finishing on the podium 5 times in the last 7 races.. lookin good...
About time Webber had some luck..... Will he be the next Australian F1 Champion..

MW is clearly having his best season in F1 - well versed with all the tracks and at age 32 as a few more years left in him. I think he has been the stand out driver this year behind Button - conscidering a busted leg n all.

Webber another 2nd place good effort

Great drive - the Red Bull car is a very fast car this year - great team effort.

So close to a win also - if only that stupid red car had not got in the way.......

[STEALTHY™]

Who woulda thought, webber, another 2nd place.

I bet if FOTA has their way, Webber will be back down the bottom. This is the most exciting thing to happen in F1 in years, finally we can see what the premier grade of motorsport is all about. Huge budgets and insanely fast cars. Webber is only where he is due to pathetic rules by the FIA to slow down the big teams.Does anyone really think Brawn(Honda) could compete with Ferrari and McLaren in the days of old?

Bring on FOTA's wanted changes and breakaway, i miss the old days where the unveiling of cars meant the unveiling of new technology. Also, imagine F1 and MotoGP running together, it could be the start of some massive changes that are not only good for spectators but brilliant for many other motorsports.

Fota rebel series is off the agenda. The teams and FIA reached an agreement. Mosley is gorn too.

Well, with Mosley gone and Bernie coming up, its basically the same as a breakaway series.

Hopefully we can get back to cars that are like spaceships that are just insane with massive budgets

Meh - I'll stick to my Group C/A historics. Don't care who wins - just enjoy watching them go around

Mark Webber grabs his first Pole in F1

[Pub247]

it will be interesting to see the fuel loads i suspect webber has more fuel than the brawns and vettel a bit more than webber. Hopefully he'll keep his nose out in front and not look back tomorrow. i think hamilton might be looking good for a podium tomorrow

[greenfoam]

gah I've got no TV reception, someone remind me to go visit my parents tonight

[Pub247]

Well i was right in some way webber isis quite a bit heavier than both brawns which means his pace is very good big suprise for me is sutil quicker than both ferrari's and heavier than both too good luck to him would be nice for force india to score some points theyve come close before

[88GreenVN]

I'll be watching the pre F1 show. Just gotta hope tonight is NOT the night for a blown engine 3 laps from the finish while leading the race - or a pit stop **** up.

[Pub247]

Good on you Webber winning your 1st race you bloody scared me me with that fool move at the start but u did well to serve a drive through and win still

I've seen alot of first corner stuff before go un punished over the years..... But Mark Webber still brings it home.

What a drive

[f1_power]

Outstanding Drive from Mark to overcome a terrible decision by stewards to come through and dominate the race.
