Stick it up that arrogant team mate of yours Webby. Been watching F1 since i was 12 waiting to see an Aussie F1 world champ. Now i’m 33 win lose or draw this weekend you’ve done your country proud mate, unlike your team mate. Go Webby, Aussie Grit, Stick it to em champ!
You will be crowned as world champion this sunday,we are all behind you…even Lewis wants to see you win
Hi Mark, I met you nearly 11 years ago getting off a plane at Bangkok airport on our way back from UK to Australia. We spoke for a while and you showed me photos of your recent test with Arrows. We had a great chat you were more than happy for me to have a photo with you. I remember wishing you the best of luck in your career and we parted. I remember wishing you luck again at the baggage claim in Sydney and I have watched your career with keen interest ever since, been to every Australian GP you raced, and had countless late nights every Australian F1 fan has to endure watching a season’s races. I would just like to again wish you all the very best of luck for this coming weekend’s grand prix. You’ve been a class act this year and helped make this season the best (of the 26 seasons I started watching as a kid) I’ve ever seen. Good luck mate, Bruce Wilson Melbourne, Australia
Mark it’s all about you! you’re a Champion, go for it! Good Luck
You deserve the championship. Go for it. From Portugal, Vasco
Mark,
Many people like me are here to encourage you and wish you the best.
Your team has no right to let you down.
Beat you to the end.
Whatever happens you’ll be the champion of fair play and the simplicity of this season.
Good luck
Go Mark
A message from FRANCE
Abu Dhabi – is in the bag I know you are the true people’s champion everyone is behind you so do what you do best and drive the car fast.
Look forward to you holding the world championship all the best mark
Just wanted to say mark all the best for Abu Dhabi everyone is behind you and I know your going to do it. Look forward to you lifting the world championship you deserve it mate all the best
After Brazil, all the commentary is about whether Vettel will allow Mark past to take the win in Abu Dhabi…consider the more likely reality where MW drives off into the distance leaving SV in his wake! Go for it Mark – in front where you belong, with the championship that you deserve.
Gday Mark,
Drive for the love of it and the championship will come. Don`t ask yourself if you have what it takes you are what it takes.
Come on Aussie.
I’ll be honest and say I was supporting Hamilton being British but, if he didn’t win I would love you to take the championship. Please put Vetel in his place, I know you can do it and there couldn’t be a more worthy champion. Mark Webber The Formula One World Champion! Sounds good hey
From Spain. Good luck.Nobody in Spain like what RB is doing to you.We don´t like that little kid either.If Fernando doesn´t win I hope you are the one.Everybody say you are a great guy.
Hi Mark you sed you need to win one race so go do it, we all on your side mate.
Gday Mark,
I have been following you since the very early days. Your driving this year has inspired my 7 year old daughter to want to go motor racing, she has a dream of being the next Australian Formula 1 world champ (after you ofcourse) and the first female F1 world champ. Your deeds reach further than you think.
Whatever happens in AD .. Thanks mate for a great season.
Mark,
As far as I’m concerned you are the 2010 Champ already. If it was down to zero politics in teams, Alonso would have not been able to overtake Massa in Germany for extra points, your running positions during qualifying (who goes first and last) would have not been compromised, and there would have been less media hype about yours and Seb’s relationship.
Show ‘em how to be better than that in the last race, mate. Let your driving do the talking. Rise above it all, win or not, and show us all your class and dignity.
I know there’s talk about next year being your last, but I’d love to see a year or two of you mentoring Daniel Ricciardo if he gets a spot in 2012. I’m also super stoked that you’ll be in Perth later this year. Got my ticket already
.
Chris.
The english are rooting for you!!! Hat’s off mate, you must be special!! DO IT!!! We are all behind you. Best of british for the middle east
Dear Mark!
I must say,that You are the best driver in the Formula 1=)Good luck for the last race in Abu Dhabi..I cross my fingers for You!
You are so cool!GO MARK!
Your fan from Russia)

The last race will be good, I’m sure!
And I want to convince you!

Mirolub Kroumov-Formulko, Sofia
I yish you wins in Brasil and Abu Dabi! Thank you. November 7th, 2010
GOOD LUCK Mark stick it right up Vettel and Horner tonight…
Hi Mark, think it is terrible of Red Bull not to supporting you 100%, lots of F1 followers are aware of what Red Bull are doing and don’t like it and i think other drivers are also agains’t it, lets hope Horner doesn’t turn your motor down or something in the race tonight. All the best mate you will be a worthy champion
Greetings from Hobart Mark, years of sleepless sunday nights watching you race has been a joy! You can do it! C’mon Aussie C’mon!
be calm and focused, you are nearly there
C’mon mark you can get the championship and be on the top of the world I am a huge fan of you and I’m going to wake up at 2:30 Australian time and watch you sweep the feild. 2 questions do you like Sebastian Vettel and after what red bull are doing to you are you thinking of leaving or are they thinking of getting rid of you.
Well, if you don’t win the WC, it seems that you could go to Holland at least and finish the year with a smile! Good luck
Andy
Hallo Mark,
ich bin ein riesen Vettelfan,aber auch ein ehrlicher.Das heisst das Du den Titel verdient hast und Seb. Dich unzerstützen sollte.Ich drücke die Daumen das es mit dem Titel klappt.Hauptsache Alonso verliert das ist wichtig.
Gruss aus Köln Deutschland Thomas
Hello Mark,
Take it easy, you’re the Best!!! You’ll be the winner in Brasil! I know!!!!
Best,
Jani from Hungary
For heavens sake Mark, DON’T quit. You are a better driver than Vettel. You deserve better than Red Bull. Take Massa’s seat at Ferrari before Kubica gets it. Best Of Luck.
hi mark just wont to say good luck for sat and sunday. think you will be a worthy world champion mate.
Dont worry about team owners/managers/weather/opponenents. You will win the last races. Horner cant be crowned World champ, but you can.
hallo mark,
I´m german, but I must say that you are the no.1 driver in the formel one. Vettel is a [Site Manager Edit]. Go and get the championship!!!
your comments against Sebastian are boring. i wait for your answer on the track. where is your spirit. You have a good car. So try to drive and win. That is that is the only acceptable answer.
best regards from Sydney
Uwe
Only 2 races and whatever happens you will be the pilot of the most talented F1 this season.
I really hope to see you next year.
The victory is yours.
Go Mark
Greetings from France
Com’n Aussie. i’ll be cheering for you in Brazil. keep your head down and your car going fast. All you need is a solid fast drive and Seb doesn’t stand a chance.
Sebastian Vettel is the Best F1 Driver…. Who the ……. Is Mark webber??? Vettel Superstar !!!!

don’t dream it’s over
Mark, you are a big champion on Formula one, Can you dedicate me a photo? Thank you

Hi Johan – unfortunately we can’t accept autograph requests through Mark’s site. Your best bet is to write to Red Bull Racing with your request.
Thanks,
Site Manager
Mark,
Followed your progression into F1 since your GT days, and i’ll never forget meeting you at Oran Park signing posters. You’re doing us all very proud mate, bring it home for Australia, it’s rightly yours for the taking. Go son go!
Mark I know that you’ll be the world champion!
Best, Jani from Hungary

Alain Perez Caballero, you are a legend!
I believe it is possible !
I am with you and Red Bull.
GO Mark
hey man
being from aus ive spent many a late sunday night watchin you. im sure you want this wdc more than your fans ever could. we’ve watched you since minardi days but you have been getting ready for this your whole life. all the bad luck in your career will be paid back in these last two races. your first podium when you got 3rd at monaco should have been 2nd, your team stuffed your pitstop and put you behind your own teamate, heidfeld. i thought you would beat lewis at fuji for your 1st win then toro rosso vettel takes you out. driving uncompetitive cars then finally getting a good one at the back end of your career, IT IS YOUR TIME. you will win the 2010 wdc then go on to win the 2011 wdc and retire a 2 time champ. no matter what im am proud of you so good luck. GO AUSSIE
Like Rory, and am sure other fans. I have watched you progress in the hope you do yourself, Ann and the Aussies proud, which you have done and then some. I will be seeing you in person to continue our chat in Perth Saturday night November 27th. I hope the food is as good as the company.
I wish you all the best in all your coming races, this year and beyond.
Your a true inspiration.
Thomas.
Hi,Mark!
I am from Bulgaria.
How are you?I hope you will get the title this year.I hope you will come to Bulgaria,too.Answer me on my e-mail
Hello. I am one of the only (if not the only jejej) webber fan in Spain. Spain the only guy with good taste jejejeje. I wish good luck to mark, and hopefully win the title vs ferrari vs mclaren, vs Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull vs, vs horner, vs red bull ….
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ gooooo SUPER WEBBER gooooo !!!!!!!!
PD: sorry my bad english jejeje.
Bad luck this weekend Mark. Sh*t happens. Now go win the next two. Our World Champion this year for sure!
come on Aussie. Dig deep and do us proud. Be the champion we know u are
Mark ich warte seit 8 Jahren das du Weltmeister wirst! Also bleib cool und hol dir den Titel!
Get him!
Regards from germany
Pity about today, but these things happen. You are capable of nailing the next 2 races and taking it out for year. You’re not that far behind in points. Mark, we still support you all the way.
Watch out for the intrigues of the one-eyed bandit! All RBR wants is a world champion Vettel or at least Vettel placed better than you in the championship! And they will even fiddle your fuel management to achieve that goal!
go for it mark….lets have a good guy win it for a change..good luck mate
Good luck for this race. I send to you, good vibrations from Pamplona.
Be fast, good luck Mark
M. Webber I’m hoping you do hope that a great race!
This year the championship is his good luck and a big hug.
All the best Mark….we really do hope you’d be world champion this year…..(Cranbourne, VIC)
Plenty of people here in Australia are fans and theres always been haters The problem with Oz is no one wants to know unless were winning so now plenty of people have jumped on the bandwagon. The true fans like me have supported you from that 1st race in Oz with minardi Because your an aussie reppin’ Us in the most elite motorsport in the world your a true aussie champion just for being there. Give them some more of that Aussie grit and determination like Halmiton got. Aussie’s dont back down from a good fight and your doing us all proud
Mark, i hope you very much win the championship
I couldn’t stand if that sebastien [Site Manager Edit] took it out. His just a complete tool
Wish you all the best for this weekend Mark. You are more than capable of pulling it off this year. Your overtaking moves have been brilliant in the last 2 seasons. MW for WDC10!
Mark, I hope you can win this championship, you have all my support and recognition
You and Alonso are my winners, good luck for both
Canada is routing for you – just watch out for Seb in the rear view!
Greatings from another Mark!
eheheh
Mark,
me and a lot of friends wish you all lucky for this weekend in Korean. Hopefully win in debut Korean circuit in order to celebrate another big Victory. You can do it. We all believe in you! We will be your spiritual force.
Go!!! Without fear
cheers
Hi Mark,
I don’t know if you saw Australian Story earlier in the year on Sir Jack, but he made a classic unique Australian saying in the show, based on him being the patron of the Australian Kidney Foundation. He said, “I have a new edict in life, which is to die without an enemy in the world (pause). I’m going to out live the B#$@$#@s”.
I also saw how he stated early in 2010, that he didn’t think you could win the championship this year, because you had a team mate who was a very good (better?) driver.
I thought, you bewdy Jack, what a wind-up to stir Mark just enough to keep the concentration level at a peak!
Sir Jack’s a hero worldwide, but in this competitive age, if you can do the deed, we will be calling you Sir Mark!
We will be driving every lap with you, as you keep the b%$#%s honest,
Cheers,
Peter S.
I have a Very fast greyhound and want to call it MARK WEBBER , i need consent from you
Will you race in ROC this year? Mick Doohan is an amazing rider and an Australian ledgend, but he’s not really known for his driving. Please help represent Australia in what many now regard as the greatest test of a driver.
Mark, you’re overtaking moves rock! I really hope you take the 2010 WDC. I will be nervous as anything watching the remaining races, but you can do it. Go Webbaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!!!
Can you clarify why Seb was not penalised for what I thought was a clear gap between him and the pace car which wa more than 10 car lengths. I’m sure it would have have been somthing like 100m through the essses
You’re a genius driver and one of the truly good blokes in F1. You deserve everything that comes to you. Stand up for the World Champion 2010!!!
Hi Mark,
I have been fan of yours since you first race in Australia for Minardi.
It has been a long difficult road, and for sure it takes its toll.
Now for the 3 last races, this is what will separate the men from the kids…and I know that you have that challenging attitude to make it happen…as you said, you only need one more win, the rest will be consistency…you are almost a third place ahead of everyone, which is awesome, still the job needs to be done, so for those 3 races, best of courage and determination, luck will give you the reward you deserve.
After letting DC have a go of the new car & setting what I can only assume as excellent times would you like to have him as a partner in next years competition
I was just reading that Korea is an unknown for everyone. I reckon this then must be your best chance to beat your teammate again. Fingers and toes crossed for you Mark.
I have watched your career from day1 mate you have the whole of Australia riding shotgun.
What debate? Toast with lashings of butter (not that polyunsaturated regurgitated stuff) and then the vegemite!
Need wins; can’t count on 2nds being enough. More victories, please, chop chop.
Good luck for tomorrow, Mark (or is it today for you?lol) You deserve this championship which you have handled with dignity, unlike some others!! Be fast…..
Mark, when your World Champ I’ll buy you a hairbrush. What colour mate?
Its been so long since we have had a down under F1 champion either Aussie or Kiwi, keep going mate and best wishes to uplift the crown to add to the successess of Jack Brabham, Denny Hulme and Alan Jones.
You have it within your grasp. All you need to do is be consistent and finish every race and the championship will be yours. You deserve it after all you’ve had to go through this year. Seize the moment and take your place as a World Champion.
You career rise has been so deserved. Have been following you from day one and have been waiting and hoping for you to be the next Aussie to win a championship. Could not happen to a nicer guy.Cant wait for the last 4 races. INSPIRATIONAL STUFF
Good luck this weekend Mark, were all rooting for you in Aus! 2010 F-1 WC
GO WEBBER…….
DO IT NOW….YOU ARE JUST THERE….I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE INVINSIBLE IN COMMING RACES….TAKE THEM NOW…GOD BLESS
GO WEBBER…………..
Do a Dori Mark, and ‘just keep swimming’! You’re next in line for the championship, brilliant!!
To my hero & his caring partner.
As one of Mark’s fans in Japan, let me warn and give you an important advice as follows,
There is a false rumor
that ,which is totally absurd and groundless.
But I have found that Japanese media(Fuji TV ,telecasting F1 exclusively)
and plenty of ppl are spreading this malicious rumour on Twitters actually.
Most of them are fanatic & stupid fans of your team mate , A and H who don’t want to see you become a champ this year.
Sad but it is a true fact.
Those fans are hysterical,unfair, inmature and biased unfortunately.
Pls keep smiling to the media and those ppl + try to impress that you are
pro-Japanese such as
Button though you can ignore silly boo and concentrating on your race to becom a champ.
I am also concerned about your food poisoning in here which you had before.
You can’t be too cautious in Japan.
Wish You Luck xxx
G’day Mark,if you take the title this year would you consider retiring?,or will it make you hungry for more?
We’re big fans Mark, even though you’ve got an extra b in you name. Go for the championship cousin. A.W.
goodonya mate keep the aussie flag flying and for godsake win the world championship and stick it up that brat vettel. go aussie
Stay calm and do not make ill-advised actions. We have a saying: The main thing is not to win but to participate! But in the winning formula is the main thing. I wish you victory! P.S. I apologize for my English.
BIG MARK ! Greetings from Finland. Go and
get the championship !!
Go Mark and get the world title. I hope that you will have number one on your car next season. BIG MARK! BIG MARK!
Go Mark,its your time,all the best for Suzuka.
Hi Mark,you driving BRILLANT,its your time mate,go get em champ!!!.
Hey Mark,
Is there a driver that you catch up with in the off season?? Or is it all strictly business??You can do it mate. Four races left, give it everything. We’re all behind ya mate!!
GO WEBBER!!!!
From Spain but living now in Perth.. I’m a supporter of you (and Alonso too).. I think you’re a great guy, wishing you all succes in this season and don’t forget: beat Vettel and Lewis one more time… jejejeje.. Saludos y suerte.. Ole ole ole, torero!!!
Good on ya mate. We are all behind you and praying for you to win the Championship this year. You are a true Oz fighting spirit.
Keep going Mark!!! We have all invested a lot of sleep time in keeping up with the season this year, so you’d better go on and finish it off properly now!
Cheers, C. Sth Aust
Devi vincere!!!!!!!!!!see you around in MC….
Gritty drive, just the right amount of firmness. Gotta win “most popular” accolade this season (don’t suppose LH will be voting for you though).
FA’s my favourite but he can win in 2011, but this year you’er the man. Good Luck you deserve the WDC, maybe even two of them?
awsome result on the weekend mate!. The Hamilton type incident was bound to take place eventually with any of you top five guys so good to see you come out on top when it did. It was the toughest move made for position in the whole race really. Only 4 to go!!!
Great drive in Singapore mate. Well done dealing with the little soft-on. You know who.
Hi Mark
Iam a huge Fan of you.Iam from Holland.
Is there a possibillity you will ever come to Holland one day(so I can meet you)
love kisses xx
Anja
You was always one of my favorit drivers, and supported for you. But after what you dit to Hamilton in Singapore as a woman I’m obliged to think of you as of Vettel “wir haben es nicht gewust”. As 4th you kept the first position in the WSS.
There is not any excuse. An ex-fan of Belgium
what makes you do what you do ?.and good luck for tomorrow
Mark Webber is the Team Principal of MW Arden, a three car team in the new GP3 series supporting European Grands Prix.
Go Mark been following your career since Minardi champ. Stick Vettel in the wall mate he’s a discrace. Aussie Grit!!!
