Title: Webber's First Win
Post by: cosworth151 on July 13, 2009, 01:29:32 PM

Mark Webber got his first pole and first win this week-end at the Nurburgring. At the end of the race, we could here Rom screaming all the way from Oz.  ;)

A few Fun Facts:

Mark set F1 records for

Most races before a pole: 130

Most races before a win: 130

The last Aussie on pole: Alan Jones, German GP at Hockenheim, 1980.

Last Aussie win: Alan Jones, USGP West at Las Vegas (that awful mess run in a car park), 1981

Well lets hope Mark can go the whole way and eventually recreate Alan Jones other feats. :good:

Great to see Mark "break his duck" at last.

yeah Willy, he broke his duck as for the very first time in eight years he is driving a car that can win

I do think many people will be rating mark much higher now and team mate SV will be getting a little nervous methinks

I admire MW for the manly character and class he shows and consider him a serious WDC contender this year

go Aussie go!

Hopefully Webber doesn't have to break the "Last Aussie to win in a semi-molten car park" record.

Good luck to Mark on getting everything else - even a 2009 title is still possible, at least in theory...
