You will be crowned as world champion this sunday,we are all behind you…even Lewis wants to see you win

Bruce Wilson POSTED November 08th, 2010

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

Miguel POSTED November 08th, 2010

Véronique POSTED November 08th, 2010

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

Look forward to you holding the world championship all the best mark

Adam Cohen POSTED November 08th, 2010

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

Les POSTED November 08th, 2010

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.

Luke POSTED November 08th, 2010

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.

Mark POSTED November 08th, 2010

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

Turu POSTED November 08th, 2010

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.

Andrew C POSTED November 08th, 2010

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.

C Hamp POSTED November 08th, 2010

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.

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.

mickt POSTED October 28th, 2010

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

tommo POSTED October 28th, 2010

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.

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

Peter Stevenson POSTED October 18th, 2010

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.

Mark R POSTED October 13th, 2010

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

Grant POSTED October 12th, 2010

Andre C Stoops POSTED October 12th, 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.

George Penman POSTED October 11th, 2010

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
