Hi Mark – Just wanted to say well done for Sunday’s win – As far as I am concerned you have never been 2nd best and any driver that can walk away from a big accident like you had in Valencia and then go on to win the next race is a true hero in my book

Just keep showing them how wrong they were mate! You did it already and you can do it for the whole season!

Come on Mark!!!!

Greetings from Argentina!

Mark! Good to hear that. Do not let anyone or anything split you team and your true friendship!!! Best of luck for the Championship now!!!

Mark

Thanks for this, clears up alot of things. And puts things intoperspective for everyone to see and read. Keep up the brilliant work, and all the best for the3 rest of the season. Can we have another win in Germany please, as this would be the icing on the cake!!!!

Brilliant race, an absolute thrill to sit at Copse and see you nail the start!
Onward to Germany!

Very professionally said Mark. You have a great attitude. Continue on with much success.

Mark,
“Seb and I are not enemies”

From the outside looking in….I’d say you are……and if you believe that you’re aren’t, then you’ve had the wool pulled over your eyes.
He is the very reason people say “There is no I in TEAM”
I am a huge fan, and its my belief that the biggest threat to you becoming the 3rd Australian F1 Champion is not those bloody red cars or the McLarens, but Vettel.
If he can’t beat you to the championship he’ll scuttle your attempts wherever he can.
During the Silverston race he tried to bully his way past no less than 3 drivers. All these were attempts at running drivers off the track. You were one of those….at the very start.
Anyway, you probably wont even see this email, let alone read it, but should you do so, I’d just like to say how this old Aussie is so proud of you. I am a big fan and watch every race.
Good luck, keep up the good (and I know HARD) work. Australia needs someone like you in motor racing right now.
My wife and I will be at turn 1 in the front row at Singapore waving the Aussie flag for you….give us a wave as you go past eh? LOL
Cheers,

Now the important thing is to stay away physical and emotionally from any situation that could affect your equilibrium and concentration.
Mclaren is on the first position because they’ve known how to become useful our mistakes, but it does not mean they’re superior. So if we wanna win the divers and constructor championship it would be healthy to make a little bit more mature the relationship in the Team, and reading what you were saying it seems to be like this.
You were so great last Saturday in Silverstone, you didn’t just prove once again the great driver you are even in a little disadvantage respect your team mate, also you won in your second home over Mclaren. ¡¡It was amazing!!
You are the Man, so take all the points in Germany

Good to hear your thoughts, still bollocks how RBR handled the whole wing situation but you showed them with your performance. Well done mate. Germany has been good to you in the past (Ok the Nurburgring) So im sure you will nail it again.

another great win Mark, keep it up all the way to the WDC

hi,,mark,,head down keep plugging away and you will win the world tittle . don,t think you have to beat your team mate i reckon those two mcelarens are more a threat cheers

RE: RESPECT AT RED BULL
i’m sorry, but if seb doesn’t crash into mark in turkey, webber would be leading the driver’s point now. he had won the previous two races and was ahead in the points. HOW ON EARTH WAS VETTEL GIVEN THE OK TO MAKE A PASS ON THE GUY WHO WAS AHEAD ON POINTS, HAD WON POLE AND WAS LEADING THE RACE!
so let’s see if red bull will stick to this new “policy” or will some convenient other reason come up to favour vettel. (e.g. better qualie or ahead on the road)
go mark

Never mind the other teams, I think there is competition enough right here in one team to bring home the trophy! Isn’t it better to be in this situation than any other? After all, all this controversy is due to having two very competitive drivers in two very competitive cars in one very competitive team…. who, the drivers, manage to fire each other up from one race to the next. It doesn’t matter how the win comes, as long as it comes. I am certainly looking forward to Germany where I suspect it will be Vettels turn to exact (respectful) revenge!

I hope Mark, Sebastian, Christian, Adrian and the rest of the Red Bull team mean what they are saying.

Mark! I just read a comment from Vettel,(I’m brought up to show respect for one another). Perhaps Vettel need to be reminded of his body language, actions and words in front of the media! As we believe in his statement you have 2 faces! Perhaps he need to take a look in the mirror and be reminded of this himself! You can judge a true persons character in how they triumph over adversity!Ex: Your many horrific accidents and the fact that you are still willing to help and give to others!!! You are an angel!!!

Mark, I cheered myself hoarse firstly at Silverstone’s first corner and again at the slow-down lap’s radio comms reply.Reckon even Lewis and Jenson were in your corner.nuf said, there’s only one Canberra Milk Kid and Seb doesn’t cut it,give ‘em hell mate,f****ing bewdy

I think considering the pressure and adrenalin and every thing else that goes on for a F1 driver and a sportsman in general that tou show great sportsmanship and are well composed under pressure. It’s clear to see that you respect your team from your press interview after the race, a few emotions flying here and there and comments etc is out there in most sports, I think press and media blow things out of proportion and opinions are strong from fans, sometimes positive, sometimes negative. I love your sportsmanship and the fact your Australian and a brilliant driver, full of action and excitement, just brilliant! Keep doing why your doing mate, your No 1 not because you win but because you put 200% and more into your sport and that’s what makes me a fan!!! Bloody brilliant!! Show em all again in Germany!!!

Hold your head up Mark, you’re a bigger man than that prat in the garage next to you. You’ve done it the hard way and you’re a legend mate, whatever the outcome at the end of the year you’ve won big respect from not just your fans!! Go hard, and enjoy!

Cheers

Hi Mark,
I have no doubt You are better than Vettel and deserved recognition from the team, but unfortunately F1 is about money after all. Being part of a few forum around the world you have gained favouritism and the majority wishes you to succeed and I am one of those.
Good on you mate.

My household, including my 5 year old son Bobby, cheers you as much as Jenson and Lewis and we are fiercely patriotic.

Mark you are a star, but watch your back with Vettel… he will continue to try to take you off track (remember Schumacher v Hill)

By the way please don’t call him Seb, it makes us feel sick

Mark,
I can only imagine the satisfaction that you must have gotten from that race win. The moment i watched the footage of you walking to the start line i knew that it was “Game On, No more Mr nice guy” You are an inspiration and i cant wait to see you crowned WDC 2010. Go Hard buddy, best of luck and stick it to em….

Red Bull gives Vettel, Webber’s Wings!

..But seriously, fantastic drive mate, inspirational, back against the wall type stuff. Aussie grit right there.
Keep letting you driving do the talking and I know you can go all the way.

McLaren fan here Mark. Just wanted to let you know how delighted so many of us Brits were with your fantastic result on Sunday. ‘Poetic Justice’ sums it up. You really are upping your driving this season. I reckon the inter-team adversity, competition and circumstances you have found yourself in is bringing out the very best in you. Just avoid the ‘red mist’ and you could just pull it off this year. All the best mate!

Hi Mark,
Congrats on a very good win..

But I have one thing to say – Your comments at the end did nothing to stop an already bitter teammate war which is threatening to take away the prize from RB. Also if you feel the team wronged you , there is no need for holding Vettel to blame. You should atleast shield him from the “aussie” sarcasm.

Hope you see reason in that and good luck for the rest of the season.

Congrats on the win at Silverstone, Mark. I’ve stated elsewhere that I believe you are a dying breed in F1 – one of the few drivers still out there who has worked his way from the bottom, often battling against your own machinery as much as the competitions, and know finally have the tools in your hands to show the world what you have been capable of all along. You are not a ‘manufactured’ driver, or a money draw – your success is down to pure hard work and talent. When I heard CH’s comments after the race basically saying he has GIVEN you this opportunity, I felt like giving the guy an uppercut. No-one has GIVEN you anything in F1. Everything you have, you have earned the hard way – and don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise. GOOD LUCK IN GERMANY!

I have been a great fan of yours since you dragged uncompetitive Jaguars and Williams way above their station on the grid. I loathed Hamilton when he started with his squeeky clean image and politically correct statements, now he has matured I respect his agressiveness, skill and straight talking to the team. However, with your Aussie no bull-shit talk (and sarcasm), and the way you always give credit where it’s due, you are one of the best Ambassadores my beloved sport has seen (and I’ve been following F1 since I went to Silverstone around 1955 on my fathers shoulders). I’m keeping my fingers crossed for another Aussie Champion, you truly deserve it.

Meh. All talk. Truth is it’s a difficult thing balancing two drivers. One a seasoned driver who has the skill but never had the car. Or another who has the speed but the overtaking ability of Micheal ” I’m better than you so get outa the [site manager edit] way *bumper carts*” schu. Man I dunno what you can do. I’d say just try your best and stop complaining in public. If you win then sure everyone will back you in saying Red bull were looking to market vettle in your expense. But if Vettle (red bulls next MS) wins/beats you you’ll be labeled in Europe as a disgruntled loser. Just beat him on the track. Talk less.

As gracious as you are Mark, I’m not buying this line. This appears to be a smooth over ordered ny RBR. It is clear that you are a better person and that C Horner needs to undertake some leadership lessons. Managers do things right, Leaders do the right things

You’re the best!

Mate I think they are just blowing hot air up your bum. What about when they gave Seb the new floor first in Turkey when you were leading the championship as mentioned in Tony Dobbins article quoted below?

“Only one question remains in my mind and it goes back to the Turkish Grand Prix. On that weekend, Seb was given new parts for the rear floor at the beginning of the weekend and was able to set up his car with these improved parts throughout practice. Mark’s car had the new parts bolted on minutes before Q1. He was not given the opportunity to set the car up with these parts and he certainly seemed to think they made a difference to the performance. How was the decision made before Turkey to bolt the one available set of new parts onto Seb’s car when Mark was leading the championship at the time? “It’s an honest question and there is probably some operational reason that clears it all up, but it does need to be pointed out that the team seems to have changed its process for deciding who gets the new parts. If Seb’s leading the championship he gets them, if Mark’s leading….Seb still gets them. This reader would really like to hear the answer because it did not make sense to me at the time and makes even less sense now.”

Mate we appreciate you are having to tow the harmony line but seriously these guys will always be backing Seb first just watch your back and do whats right for you and don’t believe their spin.

Forcing the best driver to apologise to the second best driver doesn’t change the fact that RBR management is manipulating the outcome of F1. I thought that was outlawed.

Show ‘em who’s best, Mark!

Sorry guys, this hasnt fooled me. This is a nicely written bit of PR from a team scrambling for calm. The truth is obvious to me and carefully prepared marketing spin has done to change my mind. Go Mark, win the German grand prix and the championship, what a story that will make, the PR guys will go into overdrive then.

Just keep plugging away Marky! Keep pushing for the best resources on your side of the garage, and treat all the bs politics with the contempt that it deserves, let the driving to the talking.

In Feb I put £20 on you winning the championship at 14/1 , come November I’m hoping I owe you a beer!

All the best mate.

saw this video from the stands at the british gp. the crowd’s reaction to seb limping by with the flat is quite telling!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qerm8fOi9zE&feature=related

then compare that with mark driving by:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8hqTd88ZRk

go mark – everyone’s behind you!

Mark, brilliant job as always. You remind me very much of Nigel Mansell, a brilliant racer who was 32 when he won his first GP. He never gave nor asked for an inch, just like you. You have many more GP’s to win. As for your teammate & his comment “I was raised………” keep winning & he will choke on his German cornflakes no doubt. Looking forward to you winning in Germany!!!

Mark,well done in the British GP,having a week to think about your victory and recall some stories from our other Champ AJ the old cliche “its tough at the top” comes to mind.Everythings in good shape,you’re in the mix keep your eye on the ball not the man as they say on footy field and you’ll get the points.Go MW & RBR and it was good to see Manly go down at Brookevale as well!!!

Continue being true to yourself and success must follow. Bloody good luck for the rest of the season. From a proud Aussie.

Hey Mark,

The repercussions of your victory went all the way to the Middle East! Well congratulations – you got this “ball” right! Looking forward to seeing you winning next year in Bahrain. Am sure for many, many people you are the person to look up to.
All the best and good luck, dear Mark

Mark, your doing Australia proud. Keep up the great work and show them how it’s done in true Aussie sprit!

Hey Mark, First of all well done you are a champ no matter what happens in the next 10 races. I have been following you closely ever since that 5th place in Melbourne and even went out and got me a MW Cap…! and I’m not one to buy F1 merchandise..Any way I just wanted to comment on Scotts message. I agree 100%, your getting diddled by red bull. They change their stance like there undies. Turkey one week Brits the next with a totally different stance, it shows they will change the ‘rules’ to suite the situation…Any way well done and Show them your the one in charge of your destiny, there is no drive on the F1 rack now that believes you are not a deserved Champion..

Go teach them the lesson about the ‘Old Bull and The Young Bull’

Go for it Mate ….your already doing us proud..!

It’s a pity that respect isn’t a word in Helmut Marko’s vocab!!.. I feel sorry for you Webbo, having to work alongside this clown – perhaps Vettel has some photo’s of him in a compromising position!!??

“Not bad for a no. 2 driver”! obviously the only exciting thing you did at the British GP as that’s pretty much all they showed of you in the race edits! Awesome!

Mark Webber, If everyone had your guts, talent and integrity, we would all be better off. Whatever qualities Christian, the RBR PR bloke and Sebastian may have, they ALL owe you a lot. If you hadn’t stuck to your guns and delivered the results you have despite their interference, RBR would be languishing at the bottom and deservedly so. And a message for Red Bull – When you are 12 – 20 years old, the age of an F1 driver is utterly irrelevant; F1 drivers are different to anyone else on the planet and have scaled heights unattainable to the rest of us. Most don’t know or give a rat’s arse which one fits the Red Bull buying demographic. After that, age is only of passing interest at most. Get over yourselves and put Webber’s face on every can of drink you can. He’s more photogenic and more ‘extreme’ than Sebastian on ANY day. He’s respected by everyone for good reason.

Mark, I’m hoping you beat Vettel (and Marko, Horner, Newey) in the championship standings
at the end of the season. The way you’ve been treated at RBR is disgusting, and makes it clear
that gross favoritism must be stopped in F1, or they should go to single driver teams. What a
horror it must be to work under such conditions. We know you have to publish the crap the PR
department hands you, but none of us are fooled – we have eyes and brains, Mateschitz, we can
see what your team is doing!

Hi Mark,

I think we all realise why you had to make a release like this, team harmony is important. But I can tell you that there was not a single Aussie watching that race that wasn’t up off their chair screaming for you as you made that pass into turn one and didn’t think “too right!” as at the exchange of the post race comment. True Aussie grit indeed.

Best of luck for Germany and whilst it’s a different circuit hopefully some of that old circuit knowledge might come into play.

As is the cathcry for every race…..GO MARK GOOOOO!!

Cheers

Steve

Great Work on Silverstone Mark, well done. You have shown a great character to the world…keep on the path.
Congratulations!

Mark, I understand you need to say the words they want you to (RBR) but please do not believe their words of reassurance of your equal status as a driver. It seems when they calm you down, you lose that slight bit of attitude it takes to pilot your machine around beyond Vettels grasp. They calmed you down with a new one year deal recently, this allowed Seb to get closer to you in title race as when your placed in a compromising position by the team and your back is against the wall, you deliver untouchable results and remarkable drives. It seems the MAlaysian GP was the catalyst when Seb stuck it up the inside and when you moved to avoid collision. Result he won. You went on an untouchable spree of points and victories, in Turkey they gave Seb floor parts before you so he would have an advantage in Qualy as he set up with the parts, they wanted him to beat you in race hence you shut down to fuel save first, they allow Seb to go for overtake knowing they would have to shut him down a couple of laps later anyway. Keep the fire in your pocket, do not trust Horner, he will say whatever Redbull management want him to say and do. It is clear they favour sebastian, no matter that he cost you and Redbull your first victory in 2007 as he slamed up your back under safety car. If you are behind Vettel in any race stick it up the inside, if you collide, so what, start thinking of yourself, certainly the way Vettel pushed you toward the pitwall at the start of British GP indicates he is not scared to tangle, also Turkey proved that. Keep the fire in your pocket and use it against Redbull and Vettel, also try to do a Ferrari contract behind Redbulls back. Contracts can be broken.

the german term “Vettern-Wirtschaft” stands for nepotism or favouritism – in 2010 the term is being replaced by “Vettel-Wirtschaft”

well mark, that’s a good step. the better & faster one of you guys should be the world champion 2010. it’s a big chance this year- don’t fight to hard against each other otherwise the mclarens will do the job.

all the best for hockenheim & fair play for the rest of this (maybe) historical season for rb.

Yep I agree with getting secondary treatment from RBR Vettel got the new floor and F-duct first, then to take Mark’s wing when his broke was unforgivable in my view. It kind of doesn’t make it sport but who knows it might have given MW that extra fire to make that first corner something special – hopefully its a turning point and MW can go to Germany and win kettle’s home grand prix…AGAIN!!!!

I struggle to understand how Red Bull would not see the huge value in the image of Mark Webber becoming world drivers champion wearing the Red Bull colours. He is the guy who represents the struggle against adversity to fight all the way to the top of the sport. He is an extreme guy who has fought hard for everything he ever got. If Red Bull don’t get their act together, then when Mark Webber wins, the imagery may be he got their despite the efforts of Red Bull to shaft him, which would not be a positive result for the brand but would be a positive result for Mark Webber. Come you guys at Red Bull, Mark Webber is the opportunity of a lifetime to stamp your product into the consciousness of every person who sees life as a struggle.

Mark! Yoi live your life and drive with your heart on your sleeve! That is the fantastic quality to have! You are my Hero!!! Never lose sight of that quality and the finishing line in Germany! We are there with you all the way!!! Ignore the media!

It’s only because of you Mark, that I follow F1.

Stick it right up the 2 Prats Vettel & Horner!

Great drive at Silverstone, Mark. ANYONE who had been treated the way RBR has treated you would be angry too. I know it was’t just the wing, the wing was the final straw – we all know that. Keep your head down, and keep winning those races. There are so many people that wanna see you take the title this year. Go get em!

Das is zehr gut Herr Webber !! Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!!!

Good luck Mark Were all in your corner,just stay true to yourself and take them down at every chance.
