Good on him, he can never win an F1 championship at Red Bull while King Seb is there.

Fingers crossed Dan Ricciardo will get the seat, but who knows.

Yeah still spewing about that slippery curb in Korea in 2010.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere a few years back that he would leave at the end of this season anyway because he isn't really interested in driving a 4 cylinder F1 car.

So I wasn't surprised at all, and yeah, Seb is a w@nker and also the team's favourite, so Mark is currently between a rock and a hard place.

Webber has represented himself and Australia very well and proved he can mix it with the top drivers in the world of F1. The only downside was when he almost had the championship in the bag and had some bad luck. Highlight would have to be winning Monaco. I would love to see Ricciardo step up now and takeover from where Webber left off. Love him or loathe him Seb is a very tough competitor and remains as the current yardstick on most tracks. You have to have a big ego in F1 and Seb has one of the biggest around.

When you consider that Daniel is driving a car that isn't really anywhere near as good as the front runners, I doubt he would have to be Kimi to get the Red Bull seat next year.

If Dan wasn't in the picture for the seat, I would love to see Kimi at Red Bull to smash Vettel on the track.

My view is that there are only a couple of drivers who could keep up with Vettel IF they got the Red Bull contract. The only driver that could smash vettel ( and any other driver who got in his way ) is Romain Grosjean.

Kimi would drive Seb mad at Red Bull with his constant talking ... LOL

Webber has to get off the line. He is very poor on the starts and would have no doubt caught Grosjean had he not fluffed the start again. Seb didn't look happy after his gearbox issue. But his start was again what Mark has lacked. Best to get out of the pack early and into clear air in those first 5 laps.

Yeah Grosjean tends to do a bit to much 'smashing', just ask Ricardo, Webber and several other of the experienced drivers !!!!

Talk about an accident awaiting to happen. In his ill fated comeback Shuey sure had the worst case of if you can't beat them take them out by playing bumper cars. Nothing worse than seeing repetitive brain fade in F1.
