Mark Webber

Mark Webber was a tough, straight-talking and hugely popular driver, the most notable Australian of the modern F1 era. Combative both in and out of the car, he earned the paddock's respect after years fighting in modest teams like Minardi, Jaguar and Williams before joining Red Bull in 2007.

As the team rose to the top, Webber enjoyed his finest hour in 2010, leading the championship for much of the year with the dominant RB6 and arriving in contention at the Abu Dhabi finale, where an unfortunate strategy cost him the title. That year made clear Red Bull had two roosters in the same coop.

His in-house rivalry with Sebastian Vettel boiled over in 2013 with the famous "Multi-21", when the German ignored the team order to hold position and took a win from him. Webber left F1 that year with nine victories and the reputation of being one of the few able to look the four-time champion in the eye.
