Braden StokesFinally time for Mark Webber?
July 12th 2009 11:36
Australian motor sports fans will tune into tonight's German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring hoping our man can covert his first ever pole position into his first race win.
After 129 starts in the world's premier motor sport category, Webber is finally in a position to repay the faith and patience of his many fans throughout the country. Surely we will see him step to the top of the podium this time around. There is no doubt Webber is a good driver, however his career is littered with slow cars, poor career path decisions and shocking bad luck. While the performances of Braun GP and Red Bull have breathed new life into the series, Webber is enjoying his most impressive season to date. Currently sitting fourth in championship, a victory here will no doubt be the defining moment of his career and hopefully the launching pad for a late season championship challenge.
Webber will need to hold off the challenges from Brawn's Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button who qualified second and third respectively.
Since making his debut in Melbourne for Minardi in 2002, Webber has raced with the hopes of a nation on his shoulders, trying to emulate the performances of past greats Alan Jones and Sir Jack Brabham. A well respected and much loved member of the F1 paddock, Webber is renowned for his hard work, determination and qualifying prowess. A victory in Germany will be a fitting reward and no doubt well received within the industry.
Congratulations on securing the first pole position by an Aussie in three decades and good luck!
