The last race of the year is what counts. Seb won on the championship on the last race last year and you can this year. Alonso came back to lead the 2010 chmpionship from about 50+ points behind. Remember Seb is a good driver and nobody doubts it. Take it for what it is. He is in line for the F1 thrown. However, he is not the king yet. Be wise as you are and plot an F1 season, race hard, tactics and take a few risks. People wnat Seb to win and but people also want you to suceed. Don’t listen to the detractor listen to your head and and follow your dreams. Also chat to Ferrari about a drive next year (make it know you are in discussions with them – Get Flavio to earn his agents fee by dropping a few rumors). I bet RBR help a bit more out then. Massa on his way out you could hbe in!

Mark,
MAte you drove a good race it was a completely different race to thats of seb’s. Iguess we all know the reason why and how these bureaucrats work. Well dont let it get to you…RBR knows people are watcing and Seb knows if it wasnt for RBR giving him the equipment he had he wouldn’t have pulled out such a big lead mate….Well he know it wasn’t a fair race and that’s going to trouble him as much as he doesn’t think it will…..Anyway long way still RBR can’t control weather and traffic and other drivers and vartiables which are hard to control….so chin up mate….you will get there..J

You can do anything Mark….. If Red Bull let you!

its very hard when you have the owner of the company rbr sitting in the other car

You are the best!!!

Don’t let it get you down Mark, the first race is under your belt so now your race engineer can pull all the telemetry from you and Seb’s car and find a way to close that gap. Early days mate.

Last Sunday was a reflection of what F1 has become. Vettel is a dream for the team and F1 – but it’s a sad day when you have to beat your own team to win!
Good Luck

Hey Mark,
How are you?
I know you will be feeling crappy bout your result, but we know what you are capable of and can bounce back next race. I don’t want to disrespect RBR, but to me it seemed as though you were in a completely different car. (parts wise) Maybe im pullin at straws, maybe not. Anyway, i know your a gun and you can drive. Need to 4get Aus and concentrate on Malaysia, because at least you got some decent points and you can power on from there. Your fans are behind u, and i know u can do it. I saw your ‘eye of the tiger’ last year and all your other years. You need to find it again.
Take Care Champ. You will be on the top pillar of the podium very soon.
Your No 1 Fan, Abs.

I thought team drivers should get the same cars and it’s up to the drivers to perform but at rbi it’s not what you are but who you are. Keep your chin up mark all of OZ are behind you mate.

It’s a long season. The main thing is you finished in the points. A DNF would have been much worse. No one cares where you come at the start of the season

You’re still a champion. Go get ‘em.

Isn´t bad, isn´t great. Collected some points and info, so let´s work.

Remember “one swallow does not make a summer”. I’m sure we will here you with those immortal words when you had your first win!

It was the first race and I think 5th place is a good result. Come on, Mark! I will look forward to see you as a winner.

the result again reflects the level of support you can expect from RBR this year. don’t mean to be a cynic but…….AUSSIE GRIT mate.

Mark, I am sorry you did not get to the podium at your home race. I was surprised to see the huge difference in performance between you and Sebastian, it looked like you both drove completely different cars.
However this is just the beginning of a large season and I am pretty sure you will get back to the top. Go ahead and show all of us what are you made of.
Very best.

Come on Mark, don’t let it get you down. One day you will crack it for a win in Aus. Hope you can come to grips with the package in Malaysia and the races after that.
