I wonder if Webber will return to sportscars once he retires from F1.


See what I did there?

I agree and disagree. While the cars from the lat 90's are probably the best looking sports cars ever made, I still think today's cars are beautiful too.

I'm sorry but this years cars are ugly. The front wing is to big, the rear wing is to small, the noses look stupid etc. and BMW is by far the worst.

Oh I thought you were talking about todays sports cars??










Beautiful

They are, i love them!

I want one in my back garden. I would love it if they were road legal

While the Australian media hailed compatriot Mark Webber's breakthrough win last week, the 32-year-old did so without taking any local companies along for the ride.

The Red Bull driver's manager and partner Ann Neal told The Australian newspaper that while Webber had some Australian sponsors in the past, none of them wanted to stay with him in Formula One.

"In regards to locally based companies supporting Mark, we haven't had any of those for a number of years now, and more's the pity," she said, adding that Australia's lack of corporate interest has been a ‘great frustration’.

The series is difficult for sports fans to follow in Australia with most races taking place in the dead of night and until this year not even shown live on television.



While Webber is now a household name in the country, companies eyeing corporate tie-ups with the Australian driver find the concept ‘too hard’ Neal claims.

"(Australian) companies are incredibly naive when it comes to this sport,” said 1980 Australian world champion Alan Jones.

"There are lots of examples in the past of (domestic) sponsors getting behind drivers. For example, in Brazil, local sponsors have gotten behind drivers such as Ayrton Senna and Rubens Barrichello and have gotten a lot out of it," he added.

Didn't Fosters use to sponsor Formula One? Who could you see sponsoring Mark?

Jack Daniels?
Super Cheap Auto?
Vegemite?

...A thought just came into my head. Just like the Winfield Cup, there could have bean a Winfield F1 Racing Team.
