Mark Webber Vs David coulthard Whos better? and why??????????????????????????

[Woodchip]

I'm on my own with DC then.

Probably just me being patriotic.

[Dutchcruijff]

You're not alone . Webber is better than DC in qualifying but DC just beats him in the races

[McLaren Fan]

Webber is better than Coulthard. Webber has been unlucky this season as he was on for some good points and maybe a podium or two. However, Coulthard is 36 and probably passed his best in terms of raw speed. I'm sure that his experience counts in the running of the team, progression of the car, and gaining vital experience points.

They are well matched, although Coulthard has had more points in other seasons with McLaren I was very impressed with him this year. Webber can be his own worst enemy at times even at 31.

Webber has had a few unlucky races this year, you do tend to get some unlucky drivers and you start to wonder if they make there own bad luck, Do they put the gear box under unusual strain.
When at Jordon the engineers said that Trulli ( another unlucky one) cained the engine and gearbox causing his huge amount of retirements.
Coulthards not perfect either, smooth thoughtful and fast, Yes but he allways dips in performance towards the end of the season, always has, always will.

All in all I think this year came out like I thought it would, Webber would outqualify Coulthard all the time but at the end of the year somehow Coulthard would have more points.

Webber needs a reliable car.

Rev limiters, you can't thrash an F1 car these days.

If the end of this season is anything to go by Red Bull will be where BMW was this season, I have complete trust in Adrian Newey...

[Woodchip]

Newey is quality. He is a master of F1 design.

[Kimi_Hamilton]

DC for me is better, I'm biased though, as I have been following and supporting him from over 10 years. I really look forward to seeing him at Red Bull next year, and it will be a sad day when he retires...

[mudd]

Webber no question. DC is a consistent and experienced driver but Webber outqualified him all but 3 (or close to) times and if werent for unreliability would have thrashed him in the points.

Newey definitely has proven his design this year in terms of aero and chassis (awesome improvement this year by red bull) but from what I understand this is at a sacrifice to mechanics which are based around his design

[losthero]

Webber is better, but he is his own worst enemy, i think he drives his car to hard and definetly puts more strain on it, but he has no choice to do that bcos the car is not fast enough. i think the red bull will be the most emproved car next season, so lets hope mark and david do well and work togther to achive good results. these to drivers are the two most likeable and friendly peolple i have ever scene, good luck to both of them.

[texasmr2]

I picked DC because of what I have witnessed from him over the year's but I really like MW and would love to see him with a front running team someday.

It took me a second but

finally sunk in .

The British Press must have it in for Webber, we've never once got a complaint from Webber on our camera's, probably the bias showing there...

Mind you our coverage sucks in Aus, moving to the UK next week can't wait to watch F1 at normal times again.
