Webber couldn't win

Fourth in the world championship rankings Formula 1, Mark Webber is only 3,5 points behind his teammate, Sebastian Vettel. But the latter, by winning his second race of the season, took a psychological advantage over the Australian. However, Webber, who started third at Silverstone, had a superb race, stealing second place from Rubens Barrichello to finish 26 seconds ahead of the Brazilian.

But the driver thinks he could have done better, by getting a better place on the grid: “ It all happened yesterday. I would have liked to go on the front line, at least. We immediately saw that, with the way Vettel escaped, that it was going to be very hard to challenge him for victory. At the end of my first stint, I saw that victory was well and truly lost. »

Quickly let go by his teammate, Mark Webber then “contented” to protect his second place. “ In the last stint, my car was less good, so I had to adopt a different pace in order to preserve it. » Like Sebastian Vettel, the Australian would like to thank his team for the work carried out on the car Red Bull. " What factory work! They were able to bring it to a very good level of performance. It?s magnificent for the engineers, the mechanics, that we are imposing ourselves here in Great Britain. Running in front of the British public is something exceptional. »
