Webber brings back points

Lively at the start of the race, and effective when the rain arrived, Mark Webber picked up a few points today. The Australian also played an important role, as president of the GPDA, the drivers' association, in indicating to the race management that minimum visibility conditions were not required to resume the race. “Race management made the right decision to stop the race when they did,” explains Mark Webber. ?For us, it would certainly have been nice to be able to do a few more laps, in order to fight for the podium, but that's how it is. It was almost 19:00 p.m., darkness was setting in, so it was the right decision not to restart the race. I am not sure that we should question the schedule of this race. Today, with these conditions, the weather was just as bad at 15:00 p.m. »

Less success on the other hand for Sebastian Vettel which ends its race in a gravel trap. “I was on intermediate tires, they were deteriorating since it was no longer so wet, then the biggest downpour broke out. I was approaching turn 7, suddenly there was a lot of water. I was very careful, but I aquaplaned and lost the car. I could not do anything. »
