I'm confused, cause Webber is usually such a great competitor. Very careful in being rude about other teams or his own teams performance. I really like him, but I think he's only frustrated with all the questions about his dismal season last year.

lets see the look of webbers face when williams do better than him..
Ahh that was Dr Mario smiling while Frank Williams was cursing which made me happy because BMW knew what a mistake it was teaming up with Williams during there final year in 2005 and buying Sauber in 2006.
Williams were saying that BMW will need time to compete against them..didn't take them long. BMW offered to buy Williams as well as JCB..he rejected the offer...so who's fault is it when he could have had manufacturing backing. Patrick Head needs to retire and let the younger generation take over. (side not:Head's move to Engineering Director was widely seen as demotion and final acceptance by Sir Frank Williams that he was no longer able to bring the team the level of success it had once enjoyed)
Webber is right in saying that his two years at Williams was dissappointing..look at the results that Heldfeld and he had..not championship worthy competitors. A lot of drivers who raced with Williams and left have had negative comments...must be a sign. Even Jenson Button who had a contract had to buy it out and not race with Williams.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
IMO Mark Webber is somewhat overrated and quite frankly needs to shut his trap, and concentrate on what he does best

He still has a way to go to equal Coulthard at Adiladie
There was oil on the pitlane entrance. As far as Webber is concerned, I'm surprised there aren't more spinners on the entry to the pitlane. Drivers are still racing as hard as they can until they hit the white line, and you can see how narrow it is.

Patrick Head is probably the best engineer in F1 IMO.

Mark Webber needs to go to his medicine cabinet and take a large dose of "patience", because things are going to take some time at Red Bull. THey finally have their shiny new toy, the Adrian Newey chassis to play with. But it will require a lot of development time, maybe the entire season. I bet he mutters to himself as he shoehorns himself into the cramped cockpit.
Webber is being patient, every interview he does, even after the Australian GP he stated the team has a long way to go, and that even though there were promising results from Quali that... One session a season does not make.
He spun in pit lane due to a sticking throttle, he had been struggling with it most of that race, and it was lagging into the braking zones (even with no pressing on the peddle).

I thought it was due to the aerodynamic balance being ruined by the fuel flap being open?
