Mark did a fantastic job and i don't think he gives himself enough credit for it. He won hard races against Vettel and the rest of the field. Furthermore, Vettel wouldn't have had such a fast car if it wasn't for Mark's development and experience through the early years of the team. I was one of those willing him on through his career. Fine driver and a great manager of Piastri. God bless Webber forever.
Shut up mate
Seb was just better than him in the end.
Webber was about to be dropped in 2013 but the owner of Red Bull wanted him to stay
You can always go back to someone reaping the benefits of another one's work to some extent. For example Michael Schumacher in his last stint at Mercedes, 2010-2012, undoubtedly laid the foundation for the success that Lewis Hamilton could later enjoy with them, starting 2013 and already getting his second championship in 2014. So the way we look at drivers, comparing their achievements as individuals only, is inherently flawed. We also have to take into consideration the team and the ones that brought it up to a certain level before them.
This comments section is stuffed to the gills with kids who love commenting on F1 eras they haven’t seen.
"I was faster, I passed him, I won"
Sarcastic?
I'll never forget when he said that in that interview lol
Adrian Newey’s autobiography provided a different point of view: Difficulty in adopting to the blown diffuser, manager creating more issues than there were. That’s what I remember from the top of my head.
As is true there is always a grey area and there must have been issues on multiple sides. Korea DNF and Abu Dhabi strategy call hurt both Alonso and Webber.
Anyway, it was good for him to leave and achieve WEC success afterwards
Most teams don't support 'outside' drivers away from Europe. Webber was never in with a chance. Just like Checo now.
If I recall correctly the blown diffuser was installed after the 2010 season. The gripe Webber had with Redbull was mainly in the 2010 season where he had a good chance to win the championship. He even admits that he is only a one championship type driver and has said Ricciardo is a better driver than him. He also admitted he had trouble adapting to the new compound tyres that were introduced after the 2010 season.
That's all very well and good. But Red Bull turning down Webber's engine when he's closing down his teammate shows that they were sabotaging Webber, much like they're doing to Checo now
That Korea DNF still plays back in my head. Given how much of a charge Seb was on at that stage of the season, I had a strong feeling that was his chance gone.
If we use total number of DNF's as a yardstick, it's reasonable to suggest Mark Webber was harder on the car than Sebastien. In the years they were team mates, Webber's total DNF count is higher than that of Vettel.
Mark's big point losses in 2010 that were driver error related: European GP, and above that, the Korean GP where he could've sealed the championship.
Vettel's big point losses in 2010 that were driver error related: Belgian GP and the infamours Turkish GP.
However, since in the video there's talks about "reliability issues", need I remind everyone that Seb had the following:
-Bahrain GP: Was leading and onto an easy win and got an issue that put him down on power. Went from 1st to 4th.
-Australian GP: Once again, leading onto an easy win, his brakes failed... DNF.
-British GP: Hamilton in a racing incident at the start gave him a puncture and he went from 2nd to last and finished 7th.
-Hungarian GP: Got an unfair penalty which again took him out of the race win, since that was a hard to overtake track and no DRS, and the Red Bull was one of the slowest in the straights he went from an easy win, to finish 3rd unable to pass Alonso.
-Korean GP: Was leading and onto an easy win... another reliability issue. DNF.
We're talking about over 70 points lost in 5 races for things out of his control. Was the team sabotaging Vettel then??? Come on now. Had Mark not crashed, he would've won in Korea and pretty much sealed the championship unless he finished out of the points in Abu Dhabi.
Without those, Vettel is champion with 2 or 3 races to go...
It was a chaotic season for top drivers really... Which was part of the fun. Every top driver made mistakes... Hamilton, Alonso, Webber, Vettel and Button.
How on earth could he have escaped the contact in Korea? Car basically t boned him
@@jackwest5506he could’ve not went wide and spun around for starters. Had he not binned it he wouldn’t have been in position to get t boned
I'm sorry but the penalty in the Hungarian GP wasn't unfair. It was the right penalty however it was stupid tactics from RB. If I remember right they told Vettel to leave such a gap
@@mikulitsi1819 Yes, that's why I stated it was unfair. Well, technically it wasn't, but if RB really wanted to favour Vettel, how could they have done this? Again, that would've been an easy win yet again for him, and less points for both Webber and Alonso since he would finish ahead of them.
Yeah fair enough. RB tried to play the team game but it really bit them in the ass with Vettel. Sure enough they never did any strategies like that again@@grimm6jack
Of course we have to remember that this is Marks point of view… A lot of people will say the opposite and say that Webber was given so much in 2010 to win but Seb was just clearly quicker and that is why the transitioned. Go and read Andrian Newey’s book(remember once again it’s a other point of view)
You say Seb was "clearly quicker", yet it's in the comment section of a video with substantiated claims from direct staff members that engines were turned down when Mark was going to be a threat. I don't buy that Seb was quicker, honestly. The words above do, however, tell a story that RBR has their "golden boy" and that they will do whatever is necessary to keep that individual in that position. After Mark and also after RBR, Seb got crushed by his teammates. IMO, Seb (just like Max) is just another false Newey golden idol, propped up by the engineering genius of Adrian as opposed to their own raw driving ability.
@@josephcote7702 Exactly what happened to Checo once he began beating Max early in the year. A definite change to his car - engine modes etc - and he stopped winning.
@@jsmr451 I've been saying for quite some time that Formula fucking 1 drivers don't just forget how to drive after a couple races.
@@josephcote7702We often see in F1 that one driver in a team dominates. But what is important is that the team wins the constructors and that can only be achieved with an excellent car and two drivers capable of maximising it’s potential. Take in recent times Hamilton/Bottas and Verstappen/Perez. A less successful combination was Hamilton/Rosberg with a shock retirement from Rosberg. Currently at Ferrari Leclerc/Sainz more evenly balanced but I think we are seeing a one two driver lineup emerging. This dynamic exists in industry too when one colleague is promoted over the other and this can cause all kinds of Ill feeling. The challenge is for a team to have strong leadership and I point to Toto Wolf as being the best in the business.
@@josephcote7702 none of this makes any sense
Great interview! What Mark mentioned about the letter, I did the same at work......but Mark phrased it perfectly, it's saying to a senior manager 'can you get better answers than me cos we all report to you but I'm not comfortable with what I'm hearing'... Completely different industries but great to understand how a striving personality functions!
I find it truly fascinating what others here read into this interview - there's not a hint of animosity towards anyone at Red Bull in it, whether it be Seb or management. Also, Mark's not bigging himself up at all - he's saying he was a title contender which is TRUE (he led most of 2010 so he absolutely wasn't a fluke, and you don't just luck into a top-team seat if you're not bringing any value). He's not even really rehashing old grievances - yeah they talk about the wing or the engine issue, but he's not feeding the flames, just saying "it was what it was" and how that made him feel at the time.
It's an honest and very reflective interview, from someone who knows what he's talking about (and working in a corporate environment myself I know Mark's right about what pressure does to people and how everybody's taking a different line to get to the top). I really wish people would stop sowing discord where there is none. Mark's good with Red Bull and Horner, and he's really good with Seb by now. They've all grown and matured and left those toxic times behind.
Well said. It's also like people who make these sweeping statements have a complete inability to put things into proper perspective and to understand that situations are far more complex and nuanced than they appear. This was a fascinating interview and Mark was one of the best drivers in the world (of course he was).
only thing wrong is top team point. redbull wasnt a top team . It became after 2009 . he joined in 05 . but he for sure proved his worth . held it against DC. and coped brilliantly . From being in a minardi and struggling Ford to redbull. Not many drivers can deal with step up to a title contending team . better than average talent but never backed out or gave up
Thank you so much for these, I genuinely enjoy you outlook and the way you portray your overview on it!!!
Short fuse factor + Grass is not always greener... really interesting insight. Worth watching this clip - seeing how a top athlete deals with things when it's not going their way.
Homie on the far right looks like he's doing this through green-screen. I swear he's floating and not sitting on the couch. The middle guy not taking shoes off is cringe, and you are disrespecting Sebastian by misspelling his name. This whole video makes me uncomfortable lmao
I know it’s probably not agreed with by many people , but if I need an Aussie driving for my life in F1 all in there prime I’m picking Mark. He was absolutely fearless, not as gifted as Daniel and Oscar even Jack, but he willed his way to win. What a legend!! Much love and respect
Wow, and Aussie who would take Mark over Jack Brabham. I'd take Jack and the for some reason forgotten Alan Jones. Not sure why he is always overlooked because he was a beast wheel to wheel that could find little bit of extra grip for just shade better line. I think Jack is the greatest Aussie driver but Alan I believe to be the most purely talented.
To be honest I think Ricardo is a bit over rated, it you need a specific car to be fast and cannot deal with adversity IMHO you are not a top shelf race car driver. Not saying Daniel is not a very good driver, only that he is not one of the all time greats or even a A list in the history of F1. And, it is way WAY to early to rate Oscar; still at the stage of potential rather than accomplishment. At this point, yes I would put Mark ahead of both, but Mark while a great driver was never in the same class as Bradham or Jones.
Spelt Sebastian wrong in title
Yup. In German „SebastiAn“ is much more common as opposed to „SebastiEn“ which is more of a French way of spelling and is usually also pronounced differently.
Still not fixed
Sebastchun
Who cares 🤷♂️
@@elmondo3543 stfu if you've nothing to add.
I find it annoying everyone but the guy in the middle went shoeless.
Mark you were a great Inspiration during your motoracing career, look forward to hopefully meeting you soon. Cheers
why you do intro and then begin the video with the same sentence as in intro
Very very mature and faithful interview from Mark. Respect.
One point I would like to add is his big body structure added to him being somewhat slower. Rest he spoke beautifully.
No they use ballasts in the cars, with varying weight depending on the driver to equalize the weight somewhat. Yuki doesn't have +5 speed compared to Ocon because he's small, it's all calculated.
The maximum driver weight has increased considerably since Mark raced they increased it considerably roughly 4 years ago. One of the main reasons Hulkeneberg never got into a big team in his prime was he was considered too big by the engineers ata lot of teams and it out weighed his driving potential. Mark was told he couldn't lose anymore weight by doctors or he would become annorexic. htis is a direct quote from him. At six feet tall, he weighed around 11st 11lb (75 kg) when at Red Bull - more than 10 kg heavier than what he once called the ideal driver weight.6 May 2016@@v12vanquish135
@@v12vanquish135 That weight system you're talking about came in a couple of years after Webber retired. Prior to that, there was a minimum weight requirement on the car only. Vettel being smaller and lighter than Webber allowed Red Bull to distribute the weight better on Vettel's car, for the car to reach the minimum weight allowance. The combination of Vettel and his car's weight was lighter than Webber and his car.
The change to car and driver minimum weight came about because some of the drivers were risking their health trying to get their body weight down so low, in order to not be disadvantaged to a driver who was smaller.
Of all the Australian drivers, I'd still rank Mark above Ricciardo. He's one of the most important drivers in Red Bull next to Max and Seb. Wish he had more more but he can be proud of his career.
Agreed!
all the Australian drivers? I reckon Jack Brabham has a pretty big call to the No. 1 slot, and that's not even considering he ran his own team and did a bit of spannering...
I would disagree. Mark objectively had the strongest car from mid 09-2013. Had Ricciardo not been shafted by the team strat at Spain 2016 and the pit stop blunder at Monaco, he’d have the same amount of wins at the team as mark, in inferior machinery relative to the competition. I’d agree mark did more for the team since he was there when they weren’t a great team, but in terms of getting what you can out of the car ricciardo did a better job
If Daniel had the WC RB he would have at least 3 DWC. He got promoted to RB literally when it was a long second from the Mercs, left before it was a WC car again, and had the same amount of wins that Max had while they were together racing.
Ricciardo is objectively faster than Webber. Webber implied that before the Australian GP in 2014, and Daniel got DQed from his Quli but put it on the podium in Q3, beat Seb after he came from his 4 WDC high. don't fucking kid yourself.
@@DovahKanye Don’t be too dazzled by his personality. Guy had no work ethic or commitment to win 3 championships consecutively let alone 1. There’s a reason why Max is a champion today and Ricciardo got booted out by McLaren and hanging on his seat at Alpha Tauri. He had some speed at some point in his career but those days are long gone. He’s not that talented.
Always had alot of time for Mark Webber from his days at Jaguar. He's always worn his heart on his sleeve.
High performance tip, if the host has no shoes while on home, remove your shoes :)
More please
Great interview! But you guys spelled Vettel's name wrong in the title
In one window it’s winter ❄️ with snow outside and the other it’s autumn 🍂 😁
Aussie Grit is one of my favourite sporting autobiographies. Lots of time for Mark
They're going to favour the faster driver, which ultimately Sebastian was. Mark's always been slightly bitter about it, but the fact ishe was a top diver in sporadic tracks. Seb was a top driver at every track.
Vettel is not a top driver. He is very good. Never great. That RB10 was a rocketship.
Webber led the championship longer than any driver in 2010. He was ahead of Vettel right up until the Abu Dhabi finale. Call the season a race early and he's ahead of Vettel. Run another race after Abu Dhabi and it's reasonable to believe he might have got back ahead. The point being, to call Mark only sporadically good and Vettel good everywhere doesn't hold up. Vettel had more points after Abu Dhabi. That's all.
@@ciaronsmith4995You can tell us about it when Raikkonen can keep his “prime” as long as Vettel did. Cause he sure as hell didn’t after 2007. Your opinions are basically invalid for your bias statements
@@ciaronsmith4995 yes the Red Bull was the fastest car in that 2010-2013 period but to deny Vettel being a great driver is ridiculous, just the same way that people level the same criticism at Schumacher (bespoke tyres, compliant team mates), or Hamilton (best engine), or Verstappen (best aero).
All these drivers are legends because they consistently extract more from their car than their team mates over a season and have the mental strength to do that year in, year out.
Vettel got beaten by several drivers who are not world champions. Wake up. Despite being good, he was flattered massively. Any competent driver could have won those titles in that car. Webber was past his peak and hated the Pirellis from 2011 onwards, which led to his retirement. Are you new to F1? Sounds like it frankly.@@sultanoftippoo3857
Lot of great learnings that I am sure he is guiding Piastri on
The guy in the middle just isn't needed. Jake can do these interviews on his own and has better presence
Mark is such a top guy and deffo world champion material in different circumstances 💪
He's a WEC world champion, which is a great achievement in itself
Is this the same interviewer who was laughing madly when DC said that Vettel will win the 2010 championship and then Seb won like 4 in a row ????
Mark's jumper is lovely. Anyone know where to buy it?
I've always wondered whether Webber - if he had his time again - would've approached the Korean GP in 2010 any differently or whether he would approach it the same knowing that Seb was the significant danger to his championship.
What a horrible guy Damien is.
Take off your shoes!
Perhaps he had smelly socks, or holes in it...
Maybe they made him put them back on due to the funk.
@@wartbiter the funk is real ahahahaha
I think the team is happy with the result today
Mark webber. Best driver in 2010 and greatest driver to not win a title in my book and he did it the hard, hard way. Heart of a lion!
Each team should only have One driver that would stop all this team rivalry.
Mark was the best that never won a WDC. He is on point the team fucked him, in the moment you could see it. He was so fast too, really gave Seb a bloody hard time!
Moss
Ditto, Sterling Moss IMO.
Massa: Am I a joke to you?
Second to Moss
Massa come on
I like Mark and believe he was done dirty by the team, as they favored Seb for most of his time with RBR, but I do believe Seb was the superior driver when it came down to it. But Vettel's reputation took a big hit his last year with RBR when Danny Ric outperformed him as Vettel couldn't quite get to grips with the RB10 and when he moved on to Ferrari, he just couldn't match the form he had when we won 4 consecutive WDCs in a very competitive car, I might add. Seb was in the GOAT conversation, but that all went away in the 2nd half of his career. He did transform into a much better human being though.
you hit the nail on the head with that last sentance. You could see the change in him as a person once he came to Ferrari. He went from looking like an entitled, arrogant little shit-kid that wanted to be treated like royaly to growing up and realizing that his shit does stink like every one else, and that there's more to life then just winning races. Obviously the change didnt happen from day one after joining Ferrari, but he did go from being one of my least favorite drivers on the grid to gaining my respect during his time there, and now he seems like a really cool dude that I would love to meet and have over for a beer.
@@nicosand86 absolutely! My view of Seb changed just like yours. Maybe good ole Max can learn a thing or two from Vettel on how to carry yourself. Being anointed the golden boy for Red Bull inflates the ego of a 17yo that was already big. Only time will tell if he turns the corner and matures the way it happened for Seb. Max will need to be humbled from driving an underwhelming car not tailored for him as a wakeup call.
@@STORM3SHADOW Unfortunately, I dont have high hopes when it comes to Max given how he's grown up and who his father is. And you have to remember, it wasnt untill the 2021 season his car could actually compete for the championship, and he proved to be an arrogant little shit before that, and keeps on playing the part.
@@nicosand86 hahaha. Like father , like son. His arrogance is on another level. Exhibit A: he changed his number to 1 after F1 got rid of that designation years ago just to proclaim he is the alpha dog. The audacity!
@@STORM3SHADOW That particular thing I just laugh at, its more pathetic then anything. Dont remember any one else driving with another number then what they've always raced with. But I guess Max needs make sure everyone knows his dick is the biggest one on grid atm
Is he on socks?? 🤣 i love him!!!
The Multi 21 shit was so wild that have tattooed it.
Checo should be listening to this too😬😲
Great interview but why is there a man sat in between them with his shoes on?
SebastiAn!
Somebody tag checo in this 😂
Mark is on the edge of his seat too
There is a disconnect to the point of paradox in F1: To be the best driver you have to be highly competitive with the confidence that you are the best driver. To the team management/owners who write the paychecks yes they want to win but only as a means to make money. Even break even teams the value of winning and championships is in sales/marketing value they generate: race on Sunday to sell on Monday. For example, Ferrari's F1 team breaks even but because of their F1 team their car sales and the prices they can charge, and more important merch/lifestyle earnings, make tens of millions more than if they didn't have an F1 team.
It is fine for drivers as competitors and fans with a sense of justice to say let them race and best man win. However, winning the drivers' championship has a value of tens of millions, more than constructors' championships, so drivers taking points from each other is not optimal. Then all things equal with two well matched drivers close as a team owner you have to pull for the more marketable driver. Mark was a fantastic racer, probably as good a Seb; however Seb was much more marketable as a young personable driver with a captivating brash driving style. The difference between Seb winning the driver's championship and Mark winning the drivers championship in energy drink sales was more than the added difference in Constructor's prize money. And winning the drivers' championship with the 2nd driver in what is still a very fast car likely wins the constructors' anyway.
Drivers (and pit crews, engineers...) are competitors, team owners and investors are capitalist. F1 is a business not the racing amateur motor sports Olympics where competition and fair playing field is king.
I feel like we need to have bigger focus on the constructor championship instead of driver championship. The whole idea of having a teammate is to bring maximum point to the team. Now we see teammates fighting each other. Cool to see, but yeah, it's a nightmare to manage.
Not to mention the FIA doesn't reward driver championship in terms of money.
Anyone else feel "weirded out" by how Jake is perched on the edge of the sofa crossed legged with sitting on the microphone cable?
Fucking weird camera set up here lads. Reminds me of that weird Martin Tyler interview where they positioned the chairs in a way that made him look like a giant.
yeah could be improved a fair way - colour looks super washed out too, maybe a little overexposed or not colour graded. Their Fernando Alonso interview was fine so this is an odd take.
Add 2 people deciding to take their shoes off and the guy In the middle wearing big ass boots. Tf…
I don't know why the main camera is at a slant - there were plenty of horizontal lines in the background to use as a reference.
Hey Mark Webber,
Please explain us why you did a pitstop before Piquet crash at Singapore in 2008.
Is it because you had an Renault engine back then ?
Serious. How can you feel Free and Drive 110% when you have to deal with all those Mental Stuff going on in the Team.
Two of them are barely sitting on the sofa.
they were turning down the power when you were behind your teammate?? By this logic, they could have easily managed to avoid the conflict of "21". Sometimes it's hard to face the truth that someone else is faster
As soon as you go over your bosses head, and your boss was CH make no mistake, trust is gone and irrecoverable.
I always liked Maak Wibber.
Ask him what was in the damned letter!
Why does guy in the middle still have his shoes on ? Respect Mark's carpet bud .
Socks, and then boots in the middle. What a sandwich!
from the outside you never have all the informations to judge. like now, how could we figure if perez is having a bad season, or is he just simply ignored by its team? sounds like red bull did nothing from the early stages of the season to make that car suits its needs a bit better, despite all the upgrades and packages provided during 2023.
why didnt the dude in the middle take his shoes off?
Never trusted Doctor Helmet
Idk but for it was like seb could have always be better than webber but hidden team orders prevented it.
Webber was good but seb was better.
Sounds like RB shafted him over, but you never know.
Not bad for a number two driver ✊
Sebastian is spelled with an A lads
Mark was a decent driver, but up against an all-time great like Vettel in the V8 era Redbull, could you really blame Redbull for giving Vettel a bit more to work with? 2010 and 2012 went right down to the wire, and by 2013, Vettel was in a whole different league of class. He was never going to challenge Vettel for a title. In fact, when he went to race for Porsche, he was easily passed by Hulkenburg who was a noobie in that car, while Mark was fully behind the development of the car.
2010 was the only year he was close to an unrefined, error prone Seb, but both made some terrible mistakes that year - you can understand why Redbull felt it was safer to bet on both of them rather than pick one horse to get behind like Mark describes.
2010 really was the peak, Then not bad in 2012 and destroyed in 2011 and 13.
Mark deserved a WDC, and he would have had it in 2010 if not for the bad luck.
Once you send a letter, email etc etc…straight to the boss, well you might just start looking else for a a job. You’re basically throwin everyone under the bus, and good luck trying to get anyone’s respect after that move. If the people around you don’t respect you then you won’t get anywhere.
Webber was just not good enough to beat Vettel full stop.
Prime Webber would've handled Vettel easily, I feel, but Webber's prime was probably 5 years earlier.
I don't think you have been paying attention.
@@coma35502009, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Webber was nowhere near Vettel. And technically you can add 2008 to that as well.
Face it. Webber was only in the fight in 2010 because Vettel's car had so many problems.
@@coma3550I dont think you shoud believe everything you hear.
@@losmii4154 Mark is a very honest and straightforward type of guy.
Great tp see
It wasn't really a rivalry. Mark was super quick but never at Sebs level and thats all there is to it.
We have always seen this though Redbull. Seb and Webber, Ricciardo and Seb, Ricciardo and Verstappen. But also Ferrari, Mercedes and every other team throughout F1.
But it always seems harder when daddy isn't a billionaire.
Cough cough, Stoll, cough cough.
I didn’t know they turned down the engines to protect Seb. That must’ve been really frustrating for Mark for years. Plus Seb was a douche back in the day too. Multi-21 incident, Turkey..
Perez is going through the same since start of 2023!
Itsin his contract.
Multi-21 was absolutely justified. It was payback for what Mark did in the 2012 Brazilian GP.
@@alimantado373did you read his contract or made that up from your dreams?
The shoes and socks thing is quite a distraction
Is the guy on the right even on the couch surely he’ll slip/fall off any second now
So basically what he is saying is he knew Vettel was favoured but he considered himself powerless and expendable and he would rather stay in the top team then be terminated to drive in a mid field team again. So he kept his mouth shut.
Guy in the middle refused to take his shoes off
I also agree 2010 redbull were favouring Webber he was told to hold position in Brazil and Japan and Canada and was clearly faster than vettel could of and should of won it if he didn't bin it in that wet race on the earlier laps so in the end mark could of won it then and there without that mistake
Am glad it never went down well with senior management coz clearly they were clowns.
After all these years, Webber still cannot manage to say anything nice about Seb ... 😋
They’ve publicly buried the hatchet quite a while ago, but Webber still has good reasons to hold a grudge for some of Vettels disrespectful actions. Whether you like one or the other, or both drivers, Vettel was both petulant and selfish as a young driver & quite often showed absolutely no respect for Webber or the team that helped to win him 4 World Championships. Thankfully he gained some perspective & a lot more maturity in the following years.
@@sunsetgarage755 And bees. Lot's of bees.
@@sunsetgarage755what are you on about?
Webber disobeyed multiple team orders. He literally squeezed Vettel at the start of Brazil 2012 and almost cost the team the WDC.
And you think Vettel was wrong for Malaysia? A race that Mark only got ahead due to strategy and Vettel was told not to race Mark for most of the race.
If you can’t listen to team orders during a championship deciding race, you absolutely don’t deserve to benefit from team orders.
The only selfish people are Mark and you haters.
@@paperplane-db8qf Sorry to get your nose out of joint with simple facts buddy. Yes Webber squeezed Vettel. He also had the line into the corner @ Brazil. But Vettel fans tend to cry about that. In Malaysia, Webber was in a dominant position and had complied with team orders to turn down the engine mapping to preserve its life for future races. Red Bull had called the race & both drivers knew that including Vettel. That is factual mate, even Vettel has admitted he ignored specific team orders in that day. Not hard to overtake a car when you know the drivers engine has been turned down. Maybe you should learn what the team code Multi 2-1 means? Because you seem to think it’s Multi 1-2.
@@sunsetgarage755 your dumb argument is Webber squeezed Vettel because he had the line so it's ok to that he ignored team orders and almost cost his teammate a championship.
Meanwhile "how dare Vettel do what he did in Malaysia".
Learn some fucking perspective.
Odd how Mark was Better when there was an open playing field but when seb left rb his performance went SOUTH 🤔
I think everyone is not getting the point, is not about favouring the faster driver. Is about providing equal opportunities & value so that the gap will be equal chance & opportunity. If everyone thinks that they can just favouring the fastest driver so many drivers won’t win the championship like Rosberg etc
LOL RBR this doesnt apply past Coulthard & Webber and ever since!
In 2016 Rosberg was the faster driver. Mark was never faster than Seb.
who is the passant with the shoes on??
why is he wearing shoes in what appears to be webbers house, and his partner took them off, interesting
Wet socks?
because he is not in Tokyo 😶
Athletes foot?
@@alimantado373 Normal European people also take off their street shoes indoors, it's far from being just an East Asian tradition.
That race in Korea haunts me to this day. Webber had the championship in the bag IMO, did he crack under pressure, or was there foul play by Red Bull?? Either way Red Bull has always tried to make sure there is only 1 top dog in the team.
Multi 21 Seb...!
Yea, Multi 21.

How come the guy in the middle had still got his boots on?
Didn't Christian Horner say Mark tried to play all kinds of psychological mind games on Vettel and the rest of the team?
RedBull's second seat is just poison, you wouldn't wish it on any driver.
Matey boy sat in mark Webber's house this his grubby boots on😂
True grit ol' Webber, him and Alonso dicing with proper respect. The eau rouge overtake, my word. It did grip my sh£t how red bull treated him . True to form they continue. The Helmet is obviously a massive racist as we have all seen. He most likely thought Seb being German was more focused than Webber after all Webber in his eyes was an Aussie descended from criminals extradited to Australia. Ok if we really break it down Seb had the edge but Webber was treated like a second class citizen.
Mark has always been a “nice bloke”, Seb has developed into one it seems. Of course I have spent absolutely no time whatsoever with either of them so like most of us, my opinions count for nothing 😉
Seb was a very young man who had the world against him and a serial winner mentality, someone in that situation will almost never appear to be nice. But as you mentioned, we never really knew him on that personal level but he seemed like he was a decent kid based on interviews etc at the time.
@@Wonderkid44 the only reason people went against seb is because he was pretty arrogant and immature. we saw similar with max
To bad Mark whined and complained through it all. He should have just did his best and let the chips fall where they may and not whine and pout the whole time, it wasnt a good look
That bike crash didn't help him and choosing Williams...
sebastiEn?
The reason i dont care for these is the drivers signed for this Team if your not chosen as the number one you cant complain bottas rubens coultard where number 2 as much as i love mark as a driver compared to vettel hes number 2 rb made the right choice .... eddie Irvine was the best number two because he knew his place and and michael broke his leg he has his chance and lost
ok it's all fine and dandy , and i appreciate Mark Webber, i really do. But the truth is he never came in second! i mean Vettel was clearly a lot faster and he won 4 times in a row, they backed the right person, there is no question about it
Poor mark! Doesn’t know his left and rights (socks)😂
oh well spotted - geez must've made singapore's right left left right (16-19) hard back in the day aye? (or they filmed this and flipped the footage? not sure hahaha)
This is what's happening to Max's teammates I strongly believe! If they did it in 2010 why not now
wow I guess the RBR team is stupid to pay Max 50mil/year :D the same way Merc is stupid to pay Lewis 50mil/year for not even finishing 2nd :D
@@brianthegoatscalabrine1315 what's that got to do with anything 🤣
:)@@jackwest5506
🙄No. Albon said the car is very sensitive at the front end and unstable at the rear, which makes it very quick in the right hands but difficult to drive for the majority of drivers.
Perez is struggling to adapt to the cars characteristics since the last few updates were applied which he's admitted to. But when he does nail the set-up, he's ruining his own race like he did this past weekend.
@@themarauder6108 so every F1 driver apart from max will always struggle to drive redbull cars? Behave! Say was said about vettel and we see that one play out
In the days when Red a Bull actually made a small nod to it’s second driver. At least most of them knew what his name was then
Webber. Barichello. Massa. Not every driver who is worthy of the Formula 1 World Championship gets to win it.
