Horner wants a good ending from Mark Webber

If the domination and the coronation of Sebastian Vettel There is no longer any doubt, Mark Webber?s situation is not as idyllic. The Australian has still not won a single victory this season and is only fourth in the Championship, three points behind Jenson Button (McLaren). The new challenge of Red Bull is to secure the first two places in the ranking before the end of the season.

Christian Horner hopes to see Mark Webber achieve at least one victory this year to get closer to the honorary title of vice-world champion. “We all want to see Mark get a win before the end of the year and we also want to see him as runner-up.”, indicates the main director of the Austrian team. “If we can secure both titles with both drivers at the top of the Championship, this year would be absolutely perfect. »

But if you ask a member of the team what the most important Championship is, I think they would probably say the Manufacturers' Championship. This is explained by the fact that it is on this ranking that they are compared and it is also on this basis that they are rewarded. »
