Mark Webber is heading towards being the next Michael Schumacher. A guy who will be an awesome driver but everyone will hate him.
For as long as he's an Aussie, I'll support him. I reckon he's a really good driver and you see that come out when it's raining or in qualifying. But I can see why people dont like him.
If it was a straight fight between Mark and Kimi, I wouldn't know who to support. 'Cos I love Kimi's driving and character.
LOL
Webber? next Schumacher ? Awesome Driver?
sorry maite, they are in totally different world

Would've been nice to see him up against Button, but I guess that wont happen now.
Dont forget that you dont have to be the best to win a world championship. You just need to have the package. For years Schumacher had the package, the tyres, the team. Now Alonso has that and I think we all agree that Alonso's not the best driver in the field.
Either way, people will hate Webber 'cos he'll always be overrated by Aussie media.

Webber concedes stock has fallen in 2005
Thursday Oct 13 22:14 AEST
Australian Mark Webber has acknowledged his stock in Formula One had fallen after a difficult first year at Williams.
"It's probably suffered for sure," Webber said, before Sunday's season-ending Grand Prix in China.
"It's not as good as it was when I left Jaguar. But that's what the game is. (Felipe) Massa's stock wasn't good when he left Sauber. He's done well this year and now he's going to Ferrari."
Brazilian Massa left Sauber at the end of 2002 to test for Ferrari before returning to the team last year. He will line up with Michael Schumacher at Ferrari in 2006.
"What's Felipe going to do next year? Who knows?" said Webber, who has finished on the podium just once all season in the Monaco race.
"That's the way it is. Next year, you win two races you're a legend. But you're still the same guy. You've still got the same undies on."
Despite his problems in 2005 Webber expressed confidence he could win races with the right package next year.
"It's been a frustrating year but winning races is something I'm very confident I can do in the future," said the 29-year-old.
"Whether we got the best out of Mark Webber this year, we don't know. But hopefully next year we can have a lot stronger year."
Webber's outlook for 2006 remains optimistic despite languishing 10th in the drivers' standings.
"We've learned a lot and that's what happens when you're exposed against the best guys, like McLaren and Renault," he said.
"People say 'Michael, is he over?' Is he this, is he that. The car this year hasn't been that good for him ... so Michael hasn't done much this year."
However, the Australian admitted that Williams would not be transformed into championship contenders overnight.
"We haven't been the form operation and we hope it will be better next year," he said. "Winning races is one thing, winning the championship is another.
"A championship is a very, very hard thing to put together. That's why they only hand out one each year."

I really hope Williams give Webber a car with more straight line speed next season. He got absolutely screwed this season behind Toyotas and Ferraris and Red Bulls and just about every kind of car, 'cos he (like everyone else) couldn't overtake. These aero rules have to change, it's rediculous. It's not racing when you have to sit behind someone even if you're 2s/lap faster than them.
Every time Webber got clean air, he put in really good laptimes (the first few races aside). But I reckon he only had 20-30 laps of clean air for the entire season. I blame Toyota of course, 'cos they were SLOW AS!
I hope that next season he has a fast car and more clean air so he can show us whether or not he's actually as good as we're led to believe or if he is just overrated.
The aero pisses me off, 'cos so much good racing was wasted this season. Not just Webber but everyone. No-one wins when you can't overtake... the slow car infront generally falls back in the long run but it f*cks the whole race in the meantime.
