Followed you since F3000, was there at Melb in 2002 for your amazing debut, met you a couple of times at MWSC functions in Melbourne, chatted with your Dad at Bridge Motors in Qbn and tried to watch every one of your races live. You always entertained when you had the wheels under you. You’ve done yourself, Queanbeyan and Australia proud. Thanks for giving us a champion to cheer on and good luck with your future racing endeavours. -

GIANPIETRO TISOCCO
on November 26, 2013Ciao Mark,è la prima volta che ti scrivo e come vedi lo faccio in italiano; l’inglese lo parlo poco e a livello scolastico.
Voglio dirti se leggerai questo commeto che mi sei sempre piaciuto come persona e come pilota. Sei rispettoso intelligente e onesto in pista. Mi dispiace che non hai vinto un mondiale non perchè cambiasse qualcosa, ma solo per dimostrare ( anche se non serve farlo) che sei veramente un gran pilota. Purtroppo e tu lo sai meglio di tutti noi che ti scriviamo, che alla Red Bull il pilota( pupillo era Vettel)che a me non è mai piaciuto e tanto meno all’inizio di questo mondiale come si è comportato nei tuoi confronti. Comunque la gente, il popolo sportivo ha capito chi è Vettel e ha capito chi è Webber.
Ti auguro in bocca al lupo per la tua nuova avventura in Porsche ricca di soddisfazioni. Se vuoi rispondere naturalmente in inglese mi farebbe piacere ma penso tu non abbia tempo.
comunque sei e restarai un grande come pilota ma anche come persona
ciao

on November 26, 2013Even the KOOKABURRAS joined in with the celebrations. At 0450 in Port Macquarie , some Kookaburras outside my front door started one hell of a commotion on your slow – down lap and continued non -stop right through to the champagne on the podium – they were at their very loudest drowning out the German national anthem. Well done Mark !

on November 29, 2013Good luck for future!
You were one of my few favourites, even in weaker teams. I think you got the deserved champion car a bit late, but F1 is a bit too much about money now, many good guys not even get a seat, as you mentioned. Ofc, you are at least one time world champ on my list 🙂 Gl, hf Mark! -

on November 29, 2013Mark, Thank you for being such an inspiration and such a tenacious driver. You killed it and became a respected Aussie legend in the process. You carry yourself with old school cool ….and you left nothing out there…… You were the reason I watched F1, your results severely understate how good you performed. Your recovery from the back of the grid late this season was just one clear example of your awesome skills. Thank you for the great races in F1 and all the best for Porsche where I know things will be awesome! Nice team at Bathurst too. Enjoy !
