With Mark Webber finishing his F1 career in Brazil, we took a look back at his career through Twitter.

From a dream debut with Minardi – an Australian owned underdog team, Australian driver, in Australia…

Through a difficult time with Jaguar where only a front row start an a few points was on offer

And Williams. On their downward turn. Only 1 podium – that at Monaco

He returned to the old Jaguar team. Now with energy drink money, he helped bring the team up to winning standard

He took 9 wins, including Monaco. He never won the Championship but was in the title race a few times, taking 3rd in the Championship three times

He didn’t get a cooperative teammate

But his side of the garage loved him

His fellow drivers respected him

And he had a big fan base

 

His F1 retirement will be remembered – can’t tell you a time when we saw someone driving an F1 car without a helmet

Though it may have thrown his balance off

Thanks Mark

And onto the next chapter
I would so love this to happen

And this will – and if you are like us, you can’t wait.
