Where are all the Webber knockers now

[PAT303]

Hows the bloke driving?,two races in a row he's made them ALL look like nana's.He has confidence with a capital C. Pat

[MickS]

Yep, and at Monaco to boot!! Well done.

[robzilla]

the knockers are saying "Oh he's just in a better car than everyone else". even though Vettel's in the same rig and still can't match his pace :D

Gotta love hearing the Anthem on the world stage as well!

edit: he's also won at monaco before in 2001 in the F3000 class, so was no fluke!

[PAT303]

Yep and when he was at Minardi and Jag they had better cars than him. Pat

[Chucaro]

Other knockers are saying "only 4 wins in many years"
The problem is that many people fail to understand that it does not matter how good is the driver if he/she does not have a good team behind.
With motorbikes it is the same, Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Valetino Rossi have all that wins behind them because they are good riders but I just wonder what happens if the magic touch of Jeremy Burgess was not there.

[Treads]

He's certainly doing a good job. Red Bull seem to have worked through their issues and are providing him with a quick, reliable car now :)

[zuno555]

Webber has always been fast - even when he was in crap cars he still always qualified well.

In the last 2 seasons he has FINALLY got the car he deserves, and he is showing it. (Luckily, or else he would be without a drive soon!)

For years I was defending him to other people. He rarely makes mistakes. I think his only weakness has been poor starts off the lights, but thankfully the last two races he managed to make the wheels stick and defend his line into the first corner.

x2 it is fantastic to see the Aussie flag and anthem in F1!!!!

Red Bull has some upgrades to his car and Vettels, hopefully this will make them even better and give them a great chance at the title and constructors. Early days yet......

Another great thing this year is the new points system. After 6 races their is no clear leader in the points. Makes for interesting races and an edge of the seat season!

[PAT303]

I just wish they could pass. Pat

[MickS]

Yep. go the Weber ... :p

[Rushy]

OK, I admit it, I was a Webber knocker but hey you have admit it was not always his car that was the problem, I thought he may have lost the edge after the Mercedes crash at Le Mans.I'm glad to say however I was wrong and I hope his current form continues.

Cheers

[akelly]

Good driver and at last a decent car, but still a boring peanut.

[weeds]

i was always on the fence.....not that i watch a lot of motor sport

plenty of drivers come and go without a win

so good on him, any aussie doing well at internation sport deserves our support

[Col.Coleman]

Here's me thinking it was a thread about carbies.

I gotta get out more.

Go the Zenith's.

[Hoges]

let's hope he doesn't cook his goose too quickly!:wasntme:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Great minds Mr Coleman;),,

[Jeff]

I too thought he would never do it and wondered how long he would keep getting drives, I suppose he finally got a car that suits him and is as good as the others in the field, or better.

:rocket:

[jerryd]

I thought the rumour was that Massa is after his drive and that he now has to prove his worth to Red Bull.

My money is still on Sebastian Vettel to become world champ, although I'm chuffed for Weber and that there are no team orders....................yet :D

[LandyAndy]

Go Webber
Good to see him getting what he has worked so hard for!!!!
Wouldnt mind seeing our Super Taxis racing at Monaco!!!!
Just as much coin there as the oil magnates to pay for the race!!!

Ma..zzzzzzzzzzzz...rk...zzzzzzzzzz...Web...zzzzzzz zzzz...ber. :zzz:

Don't write off Button just yet folks. Now there's a thoroughbred racing driver and, like you, is driving British (as opposed to driving an overpriced Thai/Austrian energy drink can on wheels :eek2:)

[d@rk51d3]

Yep. go the Weber ... :p

What's British about Mercedes?;) Most of the vehicles are actually designed and built in Britain anyway and isn't Webbers car powered by Renault?

I must admit I was waiting for the tall poppy shears to come out too,all of you must also realise that he has got there on merit,not by paying for the drive or because of his name.One of the many reasons the car is fast is because webber is very well known for technical feedback. Pat

[Yorkie]

yep he is doing very well this season and last season to a degree, has to be in with a shot of the title this year.
have to say through in previous years he has had some doozys involving other cars and on his own that got him the reputation. :wacko:
interesting if the rumor for next year massa to redbull and webber to ferrari, that would finish his f1 career in style. :cool:

[crash]

I too was a Webber knocker, great to see him at the top of the field. Last year he was at the top of the leader board until about half way when things went wrong for him. Good to see an Aussie getting some top finishes. The Red bull team looks the good at the moment to take out the constructors championship at this point, they have the speed. Lets see if the other teams come up to thier speed.

I think you will find that what @rk51d3 had in mind was something a bit more like this. :D

[d@rk51d3]

BINGO!


2 great minds think alike. ;):angel:

[JamesH]

I am or was a Webber knocker. I never disputed his ability or achievements but he just did not seem to have that final ingredient. Many people more knowledgable than me claimed that final ingredient was a fast reliable car, and I dunno. It looks like I'm about to be proved wrong but I dunno.

I do know that since he's been circulating in F1, other drivers have joined, won a world championship and retired before he won his first race. Maybe the missing ingredient is/was luck.

Part of the reason I am a Webber knocker though is to make my F1 friends apoplectic with comments like "I could drive my Defender round faster than that", "Ive one as many GPs as he has" etc.

Glad he's doing well though.

[PAT303]

Would Lewis Hamilton have won his world championship in a Minardi,Jaguar or Williams?,I'll bet a years wage he wouldn't have. Pat

hahahahaha,

Shame I was too busy then had to bolt this AM, I was trying to post up a pic from grandprix.com from this weekends Monaco that was along similar lines ;)

CCNo a well tuned Solex is best!

The Webber side draft were great but the downdrafts used on the SIII were only ever so so!

which ones were used ?

The DGV/DGAV can be tuned really well ;)

[Lotz-A-Landies]

[PAT303]

I had a 32mm Weber on my first 2.25,POS.I threw it and fitted a stromberg of a holden grey motor,after the Zenith the best carby for a 2 1/4.The solex's used to warp and suck air. Pat

[vnx205]

If you look closely at Webber in this photo, you can probably see why he wasn't doing so well when he was driving for Jaguar. It's quite clear in that photo that his mind was on something other than his driving. :)

I thought that this was one of those pictures that has the words you are trying to say i.e. "Webber Knockers":D

<Image snip>Those would only be Webber Knocketrs if there was a webber name on the T shirt.

Otherwise they are only knockers!

Perhaps they qualify because as you can see from the photo, they are the type that he finds fascinating. So while they are not his, at least they seem to be his type.

Actually I think you are right. It took me a while to even find Webber in the photo!
:D

[BMKal]

These may not have Webber's name on them - but the labelling's the same. :angel:

But what knockers they are......[bigsmile1]

I love a good pair of knockers...take these for instance....
