| He's s**t, everybody's supporting him just because he's Australian. f**k him, if he was sudanese or something nobody would give a s**t.... if he was any good they might, but he's not. "He's an Australian, and at least he's doing it" wtf is that supposed to mean, give him credit for embarasing us? I'd rather he be not doing it, than doing it badly. f**k him off to the wheelchair races instead of F1, where his slow retarded a*** belongs. |

| I must admit he is disapointing, he's obviously got a good car this season, constantly up there in qualafying, but he can't last the distance in the race. |

i dont think the car is that great, it obiviously doesnt have the speed of either the renault, mclaren, toyota or ferrari which are the top runners.
but sayin that, mark does usually make the most of wat he is given
the only reason he started on the front row was because he was lighter then everyone else, if he had the same fuel he would have been lucky to be inthe top 6 or 8 |

There can only be 1 winner, so does that make the rest of the field hopeless?
The vast majority of the field never make it onto the podium in an entire season.. |

How can Webber be hopeless? Qualified second, how is that s**t?
Its not Webber, its the car setup. Its been setup for qualifying so when they add the fuel load, the car gains more weight and is less effective. BMW Williams just need to find the right setup.
Rakkioen did well, had a huge lead byt he first stop. Pitted and still came out in front. Also stops the Renault wins. |

| That car has had trouble from the start. Their aero package just isn't working so they have to have the biggest rear wing possible on the back = 10-20 km/h slower on the straights. How are you supposed to be competitive when the opposition either speed away or catch up that much every lap? A perfect example is how Fisichella just drove straight past Webber down the straight with about 3 laps to go... |

not to mention there poor starts
i think webber has been 2nd 3 times this year and after each start he losses about 3 or 4 placings  |

| It's obviously not the car, it may be the wrong set up, but the car itself is obviously got the potential to be up there with the right driver and set up - this was proven by Webber qualifiying 2nd. If his car wasn't nearly as good as the others then he wouldn't be beating them in qualifying. The problem is he's not managing to get the results in the races which go longer. But he's still having a better season than last, so there is some improvement. |

I would assume all the experts bagging Webber have been on the podium in F1.
I would have thought it would be hard to judge sombody when you know nothing about what realy going on.
