Cars in Sydney

Red Bull’s Mark Webber really does seem to have been given the worst possible car this year. I can imagine that when new parts come in that Vettels mechanics and engineers get to look over them carefully and select all of the best ones and anything left over goes on the dodgy test cart.

I feel sorry for webber, as much as Vettel is a good driver, it must be hard for Mark to have to deal with what he has being dished up by his team and have to hear all of the applause and cheering for his team mate week after week, while the press and fans are hounding Vettel and it’s all about him, poor Webber is like the stray pet that no one cares about. While he has had the worst possible start to the year Vettel has had the perfect start and everything is made to work for him as it was last year but now it’s even more apparent.

Some people say Vettel is a great driver but I just can’t agree that Vettel has proven himself to be anything more than average. He has a super fast car and nearly always has as he never had to go through the torture of driving 2nd rates cars in the early part of their career like most drivers had to. Just because he jumped straight into a Red Bull after a short stint and a  win in a Torro Rosso in Wet weather and safety cars. Last week he only passed slow cars AFTER a safety car otherwise he was going so slow Webber & Hamilton nearly lapped him. We also don’t know what has really been going on at RBR, has he been getting all the first pick parts for his car ahead of Webber?

New Brakes arrive for the cars, after getting both sets check by the team mechanics they come to the conclusion that set A has slightly better whatever than Set B. Guess who gets Set A on

Most of this was about the way the Red Bull team blamed Mark Webber for the crash that seen Vettel’s car eliminated and Webber losing the lead to finish third place after a pit stop to replace the front end.

One thing I read made me quite angry
