Yes, this was inevitable I feel. Mark Webber's a grand chap, with quite an endearing personality in my opinion, but his fractious relationship with Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel was always going to be a push factor. He was also getting increasingly vocal about the fast-degrading Pirelli tyres, and other recent rule-changes.

Geetface, I'm sure, will be mortified :hehe:

What is really exciting though... who will replace him at Red Bull? One of the Toro Rosso guys... Vergne / Ricciardo? Or another current top driver? That seat is surely going to be hotly contested! :scratchchin:

I'll miss the guy. One of the few REAL men left in F1.

Oh, and this is further proof of how smoke in F1 can easily turn to fire. I recall Porsche vehemently denying these suggestions and Webber saying NAW, NAW WAY!

This comes a day after VJay said that he wouldn't stop Paul leaving in 2014 if he wanted to move to a top team...... :D

But it will be sad to see Mark leave, but at least he'll still be racing for a while, I've always liked his down to earth no :bs: approach to life, he just seems like a genuinely nice guy. So good luck to him.

Cheers for MW :drink:

I've been a fan of Mark Webber since he started his F1 career in Minardi all those years ago, I will miss his straight talking attitude and never say die racing style, usually after a piss poor start or suffering some sort of technical issue. But this was inevitable really, I think I would have exited stage left after the way Red Bull has treated him, in-particularly Helmut Marko's constant put downs on the Aussie. I wish Mark the best of luck in whatever he decides to do in the future, another great character lost from F1!

Vettel said Webber's not going because of Vettel's arseyness( well not in so many words, but that's what he meant. ) Seb, yes he is, he's had enough of you!!
