Webber Gone But Not Forgotten

As records were set by one side if the Garage, the other bid farewell to Mark Webber. The ever popular Austrailian driver was given a traditional Auzzie send off as he left the garage to take his place on the F1 grid for the last time. Unlike his previous teammate Coulhard, he was able to finish in second place securing third place in the Drivers Championship. It would have been nice if Vettel could have assisted a win, but that was never going to happen as Vettel himself was chasing records. Michael Shumacher's record of the most wins in a season was beaten and Alberto Ascari's record of nine wins in a row was equalled. This is one of F1s longest standing records and will be beaten if Vettel wins first time out in 2014.


Speaking at the weekend Webber said:

"I've done what I can, done my best but there comes a point when it's not what it once was,"
"I will leave very satisfied. I've been dealt a very good hand, (I'm) very proud of what I've achieved."
