Erm, call me crazy, but isn't it Webber's job to keep other drivers behind him? Why should he have not defended his position against Lewis? Cos it would have made McLaren's fans happy? Pretty stupid ting to do really and a pretty unfair thing to say about Mark. The responsibility of the overtake is that the driver behind tries to find a way through, the driver ahead tries to stop the driver behind from getting through, he doesn't just yield for no reason. If Lewis or Kimi or anyone are down the grid and need to overtake, then they ut the effort in themselves dammit and if a great racer like Rubinho (Against Kimi) or Webber in this case is blocking them, then they best try harder. It's that simple.

well i am not aware that 7upjordan is a McLaren fan so i do not know why he thought Mark was a pain in the arse so dont have a whinge about McLaren fans when none have said Mark Webber should have let Lewis pass him.

He's a good driver who was driving well, but he is not exactly my favourite driver after his 2 years at Williams and then making scandalous remarks about them being the Toyota B Team. And also the way he changed his mind about who was to blame in Fuji, first he blames Vettel and then changes his mind and said it was Hamilton.

Well clearly he changed his mind after he saw the video. It was Hamilton's fault, but Webber wouldn't have been able to tell that from where he was.

why not he was right behind Hamilton. if it was Lewis's fault he had pole position to see :lol:

all in all in regards to that incident all those months ago under the conditions and circumstances you cannot lay blame on one driver or one factor.

Let's not get into the debate about whose fault it was behind the safety car and Webber changing his mind etc. It was his scandalous comments about the "Toyota B Team" that annoyed me more and it was satisfying every time his Red Bull broke down last year after some of the things he said in his Williams time.
