Webber Wins in Spain

Following a dominant qualifying session where he was a tenth of a second (that's get out and walk in F1 terms) quicker than his team mate, Australia's Mark Webber went on to take Pole, Fastest lap of the race and his third win in what was a masterful display of race driving.

He made sure his very quick and more fancied team mate did not get down the inside into the first corner, as happened the last time he was on pole two races ago, and from there simply drove away from the rest of the field.

I have had reason to question his abilities but this win proves to me that he has everything it takes to win the World Title. I know he was in the hunt for the title right up until the last few races last season but there was always an element of doubt about his luck, skill, racecraft, tyres, engine, gearbox call it what you like.

This win was so dominant that it shows he is the complete package. I already knew he was very quick, a string of fastest laps, poles and great drives had convinced me of that, however there was almost a Chris Amon like curse surrounding him. No longer.

Well done Mark. I hope he can repeat it at my favourite race of the year this weekend at Monaco. What a weekend that will be if he can lift the winners trophy at the same time Chelsea lift the FA Cup.
 I can't wait.

Think Long & Prosper
