Do you rate Webber?

Question

I do.

I ask this because I've seen a lot of criticism targeted at him in the last couple of years and I don't get it.

He's a fast,hard, reliable driver isn't he?

Answer 1

He's not too bad really. On good days when the car behaves, he can really give the frontrunners a run for their money. It's just taht he's usually in the wrong car at the wrong time. He is both fast and reliable, very determined as well. Just look at the end of last year. The car was significantly improved but still had some reliability problems. But Webber drove it really well, racing hard.

This year's car is not too bad and he's already scored 10 points so far. Hopefully he'll be able to gain more points. Maybe that will silence the critics. It's just that his achievements do not receive much attention

Answer 2

He's impressive in that redbull. I don't know if it's Fernando that has the slower car and still managing to challenge him or the other way around, judging by their teammates, the Renault seems slower. But it's still a great show to see him battle with Fernando in Q3, I think they are unofficial rivals this year.

Answer 3

yea i do,,,he is good and consistant,,,,but he at times odesnt have a car capable of challenging and win alot of battles,,,,he is a good driver but he will continue with his performances until a good team get him,,,but yea he is good  and determined

Answer 4

As an Australian, I've always liked him and he's always been respected here on and off the track. I've always felt Webber could do really well with the right team behind him.

Answer 5

i think he will win if he drive either McLaren or Ferrari.

Answer 6

Good qualifier, that's for sure. I would like to see how he fares in a top team like the current "Big Three"

Race pace is probably also good, but you can never be sure about someone in a car that is, ...well,... midfield.

He drives bad cars well (a bit like Fisi). He has had a lot of bad luck (a bit like Fisi). And he hasn't had much success in F1 (a bit like Fisi). I hope he won't end up like Fisi.

In terms of driving ability, I think he's right up there, but not as high up as Kimi, Lewis and Alonso in the current crop of drivers. But if he was in a top team he would give these guys a run for their money

Answer 7

I think he's a good solid driver.  He's not had the best of luck in his career as an F1 driver but he's consistent and experienced enough to be taken seriously as a driver.  Hopefully we'll see him on the podium one day.

Answer 8

I do, I always have. He's had reliability problems over the last few years so I don't get the criticism either. He is doing well at Red Bull and is happy there. I wish him luck.

He is also a very nice man in person. He always makes time for fans and is really nice and polite - and tall lol.
