Webber: “The car gives confidence”

Mark Webber (Red Bull) is now a credible candidate for final victory in the World Championship of Formula 1. Hailed by the drivers, dubbed by certain former World Champions, acclaimed by the polls, the Australian hit hard by winning the last two Grands Prix, in Barcelona and Monaco. But, for Mark Webber, it all started last year, thanks to an excellent RB5, which was succeeded by an even more successful RB6. “ We knew where we had to improve, with last year's experience., says the Australian. And we continue to develop the car in this direction. »

If he has been impeccable during the last two Grands Prix, Mark Webber recognizes that he is now another driver, thanks to the qualities of his car. The Red Bull-Renault is so efficient, regular and without jerks that he can have fun behind the wheel. “ The car gives a lot of confidence to the driver because it is very predictable, says Webber. With Adrian (Newey, designer of the RB6) and Sebastian (Hag), we work considerably. But there are also a lot of people who work at the factory. If Adrian has the best known name in the group, there are many people who help us reach this level of competitiveness. It's a lot of little things that make it work. »
