Mark Webber wanted to do better

Will Mark Webber be able to oppose the irresistible rise of his young teammate, Sebastian Vettel ? In any case, at the start of the Malaysian Grand Prix, the Australian did not succeed. The pilot Red Bull looks back at the start of the race, where he let slip a victory that he could have hoped for due to his start in pole position.

« We now know that with the new racing format, the first part is crucial, argues Webber. I didn?t have a good start because I was afraid of spinning my wheels. I didn't know where Sebastian (Vettel) and Nico (Rosberg) were so I braked late. I came out of the first corner well but I didn't want to make a mistake. »

« At the start of the race, Christian (Horner, team principal) warned us: “boys, be good!” », says the Australian. We were! We fought until the fourth corner. The spirit that reigns in our team is incredible. Sebastian and I fought really well. »

« I could have done better but Seb finally escaped and won. He was very good at the important moments and he deserves his victory. I didn't finish where I wanted, I would have liked to be on the top step but it's a good result for the team. I have to thank the team but also Renault because the engines were at their best. Doing a double is great for the team. The cars worked very well and it's a good thing to come back to the front after difficult races where we weren't where we wanted. »
