MARK WEBBER, UP FRONT
Mark’s first book entitled ‘Mark Webber, Up Front. 2010 – A Season to Remember’ comes out this Wednesday, December 1.
2010 has been an incredible year for Mark Webber, and in Up Front he gives us the real story straight from the driver’s seat.
Starting with an in-depth account of his pivotal 2009 season, Mark then leads us through every race in 2010–the highs, the lows, the controversies and the triumphs–all with his trademark up-front honesty.
Featuring dynamic colour photographs that take you to the very centre of the action, this is a brilliant insight into the excitement and drama of Formula 1, through the eyes of one its greatest competitors.
Mark truly takes the reader on a journey with him – as uniquely, each chapter of the book was written right after the race in question – so without the benefit of time to cool or hindsight to soften the view, expect a raw take on events from the eyes of a man in the thick of a fight for the Championship.
MEET MARK AT HIS MELBOURNE BOOK SIGNING
Mark will be launching his new book in Melbourne at a public book signing:
Time: Thursday 2nd December, 2010 at 12.30pm
Venue: Angus & Robertson, Cnr of Bourke & Elizabeth Street, Melbourne CBD
The book will be available to purchase from Monday, November 29 from the Pan Macmillan Australia online store. Click here to go to the bookstore. (please note that the bookstore link is only active from December 1).

Have just managed to get hold of a copy of your book. My husband Steve had to go to Sydney on business and scoured all the book shops until he found a copy and gave it to me for my birthday. This Scottish fan is now very happy. Very best of luck for this season Mark.
when will the book be able to purchase the book in england not online?
Hi Megan – at the moment there are no plans to publish Mark’s book Up Front outside of Australia I’m afraid. If things should change, we will make an announcement on Mark’s site.
I just want to add my vote to an overseas release – Mark’s Scottish fans can’t wait!!
Hi Site Manager!! Unfortunatly I’ve no email account on this netbook and there is already no way to get the book in Austria. I’d so much love to have it and I would pay any price!!!!!
***Site Manager***
Sorry Andrea – there won’t be any more signed books available on this site. Though do keep an eye on the website throughout the year for other offers that may become available.
Mark I would so much like to have your book but it cannot be bought in Austria. Please help!!! Thank you
is the book onna be for sale in the uk if so when or can i get a signed copy?
*** Site Manager ***
The book has only been published in Australia. However, we hope to be able to sell a limited number on-line to fans outside of Australia very soon. Keep checking back.

WE LOVE YOU MARK WEBBER!
Any Chance of a book signing in Canberra??
***Site Manager***
Unfortunately, Mark has already left Australia so there won’t be any more book signings – sorry! It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to miss out altogether though…watch this space.
Hopefully we can get in Austria, beside Australia, as well
I just went looking for the book online in Amazon USA, no go !! The Australian online bookstores want equal to what the book costs in shipping costs !! Any wonder I moved out of Australia. When will it be available Internationally ? There are probably more Mark Webber fans outside of Australia !! help us out
*** Site Manager ***
We are hoping that an overseas publisher will pick up on the book but in the meantime we will be making a limited number of copies available on-line through http://www.markwebber.com Watch this space!
Great season Mark, well done. Something to be very proud of. I will be grabbing a copy of the book this week and look forward to the read. Good luck next year, we will all be behind you!! Heath.
dont you remember this ´´´feel the speed like eagles in your eyes´´´i remember minardi melbourne , i still play with you in play station . this year was fabuloso . thanks mark .
Mark – I loved watching you this season (2010), even more than other seasons. You are professional in every way and your determination and motivation and drive (excuse the pun) is inspiring. Every race weekend I had to warn my neighbours that I would again be screaming at my tv… FOR YOU ![]()
Can hardly wait until March 2011. My money is on you.

I love you buddy, i’m a huge fan!!!
Please make the book available in Canada.
Mark you ROCK! Would love you to sign my book? I’m in Adelaide, any chance you are coming here for signing?Or how can I go about it?
All the best for 2011, its your year!!!
***Site Manager***
As we’ve mentioned to others that have asked, unfortunately Mark has limited time in Australia so he won’t be doing any other book signings. There may be chances to get signed books in the future…watch this space…
DISAPPOINTED
Not for the season ending (shit can happen) but for 2 facts:
1. the book is available in Australia only, and to buy it on-line I’ll have to pay more fees than the effective cost of the book (I’m in Italy)!!!!!
2. to race with a broken shoulder and not even tell the team was very irresponsible….an experienced driver like MW should never have done such a stupid thing, putting even the others drivers’ security to risk….
I’m REALLY REALLY disappointed, will Mark Webber become mature and responsible one day? I hope, but it seeems too late…
***Site Manager***
1. Agree that the postage price is hefty for orders outside of Australia, but unfortunately the book hasn’t been published elsewhere. Keep checking the website and we’ll update you if any opportunities arrise to buy the book in Europe.
2. It sounds like the media are making a mountain out of a mole hill! We are fully aware of the details, and the injury was minor. Let’s wait to see what Mark has to say on the matter…
go mark!
Hi Mark, we cant find the book on amazon.uk!
No more biking man, we wanna see ya champion next year!
***Site Manager***
Hi – unfortunately the book isn’t on Amazon.co.uk (or any Amazon sites) as it has only been published in Australia. You can purchase the book online via the publishers site (click here). There is a fairly big postage charge for orders outside of Australia. If the book becomes available to buy in the UK, we will announce it on the website.
Can this book be bought in the UK? Any plans to release it here? Any signings here too? Come on Mark – do a signing in the UK too!
***Site Manager***
At the moment I’m afraid the book can’t be bought in the UK and there won’t be a book signing over here. However, if things change we will let you know.
Mark Mark Mark PLEASE for the love of god, stay away from mountain bikes!!! Then go and turn that number 2 that will be on your car next year into a 1!
Thank you Mark for signing the books. It was lovely to meet you (again) and to meet like minded fans! I look forward to catching up with everyone in March 2011. YAY TEAM WEBBER!
Cheers, Leisha.
Hi,
Is this book going to be available in the UK? Will there be any signings there, I’d love to take my daughter?
Thanks and a Merry Xmas to all

*** Site Manager ***
Pan Macmillan Australia is looking for overseas publishers but at the moment it’s only available in Australia. Therefore, we’re afraid there are no plans for signing sessions in the UK. However, we will be offering a limited number of signed books for purchase on-line via this website shortly. Keep checking for updates.
Is it true Mark is coming to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Any dates and times etc. Mark has done us all proud!!!
*** Site Manager ***
Mark will be on the Sunshine Coast for personal sponsor commitments next week but there are no plans for any appearances.
I was no 9 in the line up – and did a circut for a second signing! What a day!
I made new friends with like interests (Mark Webber)and we will re-join at Albert Park to see you win 2011. Thanks for such a great day!
Liz
hi there is there any other booksigning session this weekend?
***Site Manager***
Hi – unfortunately there aren’t any further book signings as Mark’s time in Australia is so limited.
Unfortunately I left my house at 6.00am from Warrnambool – 4 hours on the train and didn’t even get a chance for a photograph.
***Site Manager***
Sorry about that – as Mark only had an hour for the book signing the bookstore had to insist that Mark couldn’t pose for photographs as they didn’t want to slow the process down and risk people missing out on getting their book signed.
Hi Mark,
I am truly dissappointed that I missed out on having your book signed yesterday. I flew down from Sydney but was delayed with my flight and transportation to the city. By the time I got to the book store I was too late! Is there any chance at all we can purchase a signed copy of your book online?
*** Site Manager ***
Sorry to hear that. We are currently exploring options of offering a limited run of signed books available on-line, so keep checking http://www.markwebber.com for details.
Great idea to write a book!It is important for those,who are interested about Merk s Life.I hope it will find its reader.
Thank you Mark for your present!
Can I buy a signed book online, I missed out on today as I am a new mother, so desperately wanted his book signed for my partner, pls advise? As he has no time for other signings, pls say I can buy one? Thanks again, huge fan x
*** Site Manager ***
All we can say is….watch this space!
Thanks for signing the book and also for the photo. The queue was enormous, 500 long perhaps. I nearly didn’t join the ranks cos I thought that there was no way that Mark could sign that many books in an hour. But he did and for that I am grateful. I don’t know that he will be able to drive next year because of tendinitis. Anyway the book looks great and I am looking forward to reading it and the very best of luck for next season. Relax and enjoy it Mark.
of all the days I had the biggest work meeting of my life… Next time !!
Hi Mark & Site Manager,
For all the Kindle device and app users out there: when will the book be available on amazon as an ebook.
Thanks.
- Alex
*** Site Manager ***
We’ve had a word with those in the know but it seems no Australian publisher has a relationship with Amazon; therefore books cannot be sold (in either e-book or hard copy) via this medium.
Thanks for signing your book for me today Mark- most appreciated!
It will be my Christmas present.
lol
MARK WEBBER – A MAN TO REMEMBER
Mark, you’re pure inspiration! You’re very, very special!
I’m from Greece, living in Germany and I’ll order your book from Australia.. (small world trip), can’t wait to read it!
Relax and enjoy the time after 20th of December.. Recharge your batteries, your desire and the fire! You really, really deserved this break!!
Hi Mark,
Approximately 15 years ago at Sandown Raceway, my two son’s watched you racing your Formula Ford in very wet conditions, you blitzed the field and they both knew that you would make it to the top…. and you have done just that, they have been dedicated fans since… Congratulations on your book too… I am sure it will be a great read
I love you ♥, Cant wait to meet you and read your book.
I will be flying from Sydney to have a book signed. Can you please confirm the allocated time for Mark’s appearance? I would hate to fly to Melbourne and line up for hours with no guarantee of having my book signed. Thanks!
***Site Manager***
Hi Joe, we have been told that Mark will be signing books from 12.30pm-1.30pm Melbourne time.
Hi There. Will be there a book signing in Sydney at all?
***Site Manager***
Unfortunately there won’t be a book signing in Sydney as Mark’s time in Australia is so limited.
is mark going to be only doing a book signing in melboure.. or doing a book tour round aus.. say brisbane way?
***Site Manager***
Sorry, Mark isn’t doing a book signing tour as his time in Australia is so limited. He’ll only be in Melbourne on December 2.
absolutely awsome season and what’s more – next one will be even better!!!! :=)
What options are there to buy the book in other countries? I’m in Canada at the moment.
*** Site Manager ***
At the moment the book is only being published in English for sale in Australia although Pan Macmillan is looking for overseas publishers. However, as of tomorrow, you should be able to buy the book on-line and have it shipped to you in Canada. Hope that helps.
One hell of a ride this year mark I feel lost that the season is over and can’t wait for winter testing to start and to get a copy of your new book thankyou for the ride mate.
B there for sure, your a true aussie champ, cant wait to meet you mate:)
Ha Mark just thought I would let you know that a lot of people brought tickets to the festival of speed months before it was on and did’nt get in to see you I was one of them and I will never even try to go again and friends that got in said that the way it was ran was so bad that they left before you went out so if they tell you it was good their are full of it, it was most likely ok for the VIP’s but us poor low lifes that have to work hard for everything ??? I want say what I wanted to say because its not nice so I will buy pass that,We were left out of pocket $170 dollars which was my birthday gift which I got to see 0 nothing, I was so looking forword to see you but it didn’t happen wants new story of my life the first thing my hubby buys me in years for my brithday and it didn’t happen I could have gessed it was to go to be ture,because nothing ever gose’s right in this house I just give on stuff like that.
My son is going to Melbourne tomorrow night and I have asked him to try and get your book and get it signed but I don’t think that will happen as well. You are a champ to us in our family I have been team Webber for years. Good luck for next year I will be watching like I alway have been doing for many years now.
Love Vicki
Hi Mark, Can we purchase the book at the store, or is it only available online??
Great season mate, you are people’s champions
*** Site Manager ***
Yes, you will be able to purchase the book at the store.
Do you think mark will mind having a photo taken??
*** Site Manager ***
In order to sign as many books as possible in the time allowed, we understand Mark won’t be able to dedicate or personalise the books, pose for photos or sign any autograph books or merchandise. But, there shouldn’t be anything to stop you taking a photo of Mark signing your copy of the book or while you’re waiting.
ive stayed up till midnight for EVERY race and i can’t go meet him because ummmm I HAVE A JOB! and you decided to have him sign in the middle of a weekday………. fantastic idea that! ever heard of a weekend??????
***Site Manager Edit***
Yes, a weekend would be preferable but unfortunately Mark’s time is so limited during this trip that his management was unable to accommodate it.
What a journey! Superb effort and more to come. Well done MW. I’ll certainly be buying the book.
Will be coming over from Ballarat to grab a couple of copies (perfect present for a mate at work who’s also a huge fan).
Well done Mark,
The wife & I watched every race what a year! proud to be an Aussie. Cant wait to meet you. All the best for next year team mark!!
Oh sweet, I’ll definitely be there! Will the book be available for purchase at A&R on the day of the signing?
Can’t wait to read the book. Going to be great. Pan Macmillan are great publishers and you are a fantastic leader for Australia in F1. Kudos
As a QBN boy, I hope you come home to QBN to do a book signing (or over the boarder in Canberra)!! Great season mate
Awesome year. Great to see you in a car that can keep up with you.
Will this site have any autographed books for sale before xmas?
Hola
En España tambien te queremos.
Esperamos poder tener tu libro.

Are you going to be coming to Adelaide to do a book signing?
Congratulations on 2010 Mark. Your book is top of my Xmas wish list! I went to Monza and Singapore this year but would love to meet you when you get home to Queanbeyan next (I’m in Canberra). Have a great holiday and I can’t wait to see Mark Webber – World Champion 2011 for the next book! DD

Mark,
Will you be doing a book signing in Sydney?. I live in Camden not far from where the once, well known Oran Park was!! We’d love to see you.
Love following all your races. Go Mark!!!!
and how about Spain? I hope the book comes and also Mark for signing, pleaseeeeee
Book signing in the UK? Or later on in the month in Melbourne, like when the ashes is on?
What a year ! But I would suggest working on the book title for 2011, how about this? 2011 A year to remember “World Champion”. Mate so many late nights this year but gee’s what a ride (thanks also to the one HD team) ! Go champ
Will you be doing a book signing whilst in Perth?
Hey Champ
Cant wait to get this book and get the inside of the year, also congates mate on the Gold Star award.
Hi MW fans,
We are currently looking for overseas publishers for the book. At present, only an English-language edition is available.
Rod Morrison, Publisher, Pan Macmillan Australia
Mark, I’m going to head down at lunch to try and get a signature and meet you but given i don’t have too long for lunch. What are the odds of me actually getting to meet you, because I’m guessing there’s going to be a lot of people. I’m hanging out to read your book as well. I watched every race so it will be a good contrast to actually hear what you went through after every race! looking forward to it. and most of all the best of luck for 2011!! i know you have what it takes to show Vettel and formula 1 for that matter that you can take the championship! I’ll be here in Melbourne cheering you on every race!!!
Yessssss, I love ♥♥ !!I want this book, thank’s for us for this book Mark, you are the Best;-)
would love to buy it in Germany??? will it be possible?? hoping so….greetz
When will it be possible to purchase Marks book
***SITE MANAGER*** We’re afraid Mark’s first book, Up Front, has completely sold out. Sales were mainly limited to Australia as the book was only released there by the publishers, Pan MacMillan.
