considering there have only been two australians to compete in F1 since alan jones retired, one of them being a grand prix winner and a genuine title contender is pretty impressive.
it's not a case of talent (or lack thereof) or being good enough. it's a case of funding, interest and exposure. in australia, the world championship deciding f1 race takes a back seat to what the local rugby players have for breakfast.
all the media attention is focussed on either football or cricket. so what chance do australians have getting big foreign sponsors if there's simply no interest? so, it isn't a case of not being good enough and it's ignorant to think so.
@flipsidedogchop For an Aussie to compete with the best they have to go a lot further than a trip over the channel. What is sad is your own negativity. Try to lighten up.
I met with some Aussy guys in Shanghai two years ago (I'm hungarian) and I talked to them and told them I'm a fun of WEBBER. They told me WEBBER is not a good F1 driver ;o)) I believe they cried out them tears after his victory :o))). I like him since he started as F1 driver ;o) and I will..
the anthem cut off nearly ruined it for me... nearly... but NOTHING COULD RUIN THAT NIGHT!!! AUSTRALIA CAN NOW HOLD ITS HEAD UP HIGH IN F1. the anthem is ringing loud and (mostly) true
I've followed Formula 1 since 1988 and to hear the Australian National Anthem being played at a race track is a very strange feeling if you are an Aussie.
So proud when Mark won! No matter what F1 team an Australian barracks for, Mark Webber always is a fav with F1 fans, with the exception of a minority non entity fans. I am a Ferrari supporter from Schumi days (they were the best!). Mark just has typical Australian bad luck. If he wins in Australia in 2010, the whole place will go crazy.
@Chilloutchatter So true, while I wouldn't say MW is my favourite driver, this really brought shivers down my spine. What a great day for Australian Motorsport. It was so great to hear our National Anthem finally played in Formula 1 after such a long time (and first time in my lifetime)
Well done Mark Webber...I am a Ferrari supporter but since this year Kimi and Massa have no chance for the title, I hope you can make it....I prefer Webber over Vettel and Button....go Mark Webber...this is your big chance
Good stuff, one of the most memorable victories ever. The underdog comes through. Good on ya Mark! Dont stop there, the best is yet to come. Hard work and persistance does pay off!
I couldn't believe he won! especially as I missed the race argh!! lol I always new he had the talent to win races but never had the car to carry him through. If you watched Webber race in the Lemanns races you could see his potential. Now that Lewis Hammelton is struggling at the back of the pack I can say to all the Mark Webber doubters I TOLD YOU SO!
I've got 34 years old and i follow F1 races for 25. This was one of the most emotional races i've ever watched. Congratulations to my favourite driver Mark Webber.
From Mark's greatest fan in Portugal ... you're the best ...
They should make a dvd of this race cause it was probably one of the best races i have seen in years. Good on ya mark well done, AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI
its not just the car, its the driving style. Everyone can admit he isnt the best driver out there, so he makes up for it with insane passing moves. He does things that noone expects, sometimes his car pays for it.
haha yeah you got that right mate! i have been sitting in my lounge room at 1am watching webber on an insane drive only to see him go off track or thrash the engine to the point of explosive detonation! haha "MARK WEBBER THE LEAD FOOTED ASSASSIN!"
That made me feel so proud of Mark as a fellow Australian. You deserve every bit of success. And you won on your own terms. I would've liked to hear a full version of the Anthem too FIA if your listening.
I really want to thank JTS for posting it. I've been waiting for this moment since his debut, it was a long time coming...
But this just makes the moment much more special. Who knows, maybe the championship isn't such an impossible target. But today, Mark Webber made me cry, and i didn't cry for an F1 race since the 2000 Ferrari's world championship. Thank you, boy.
Wohooo!!! Webber's first grand prix victory! Congratulations. He has been always winning 2nd and 3rd, until this day, Finally! I've been a fan of him since he was still in Jaguar. I know he is a great F1 driver.
156JTS if you could also post the part with the team talk just after the end of the race (where Mark is literary screaming with joy to the crew of Red Bull) that would be awesome.
