Mark Webber looking forward to the challenges of Suzuka – Formula 1 news
Red Bull Racing team driver Mark Webber has recently stated that he is looking forward to the challenges of Suzuka at the 2011 Japanese Grand Prix.
The Suzuka track requires a car to be completely on the limit and that is what he plans to do in order to secure his first win of the 2011 Formula 1 season.
“Rhythm is very important there as well; you have to make sure you have the car completely on the limit for all the corners and you have to get certain sections absolutely right. It's a good challenge for the drivers and there are some good elevation changes
as well - I'm looking forward to it,” he said.
His teammate Sebastian Vettel has been dominating the 2011 Formula 1 season quite effectively and it seems that defeating him is not going to be easy at all especially when a driver is using the same technology as he is.
Webber has secured a couple of pole positions in 2011 and RBR have a perfect pole position scoring record for the season. The Aussie’s rivals Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button have already secured victories this year and keeping in mind that
Webber has a faster car than him, it is quite disappointing that he has not won a single race in 14 races.
However, Mark is quite excited about the Japanese Grand Prix and claims that he is aware of the technicalities of Suzuka.
“It has a sensational combination of corners; it's very quick in the first sector. It's quite a narrow track, so you have to be very, very accurate,” he added.
Other than that, he stated that this Formula 1 race in Japan should also have a positive effect on the country keeping in mind that a massive earthquake struck there in March 2011.
It is indeed going to be a memorable race for the drivers and winning such a historic race after one of the most tragic incidents in Japan might turn out to be the most special win this year for any driver.
