Practically all of his contemporary contenders are aliens who've been racing since their parents were happy to let them drive karts - there are drivers there who've been driving since the same age the average child goes to Primary School in the UK to learn the Alphabet and numbers, Mark didn't have that advantage. I think the thing to remember with Webber is that he was not raised to race. I don't think Mark took being so near yet far away in 2010 very well and I think that bitterness carried through the remainder of his F1 career. Of course a competitive driver wants every edge they can get for themselves.

It's an autobiography - not a career roundup put together by someone else. I've lost a lot of respect for Mark Webber through reading his book and I now understand why Vettel told him 'I respect you as a driver but not as a person.' He admits to attacking Vettel and ignoring team orders during the 2011 British GP, yet he complains about the 2013 Malaysian GP when Vettel returned the favor. He diminishes Vettel's 2010 championship by claiming that the team favored Vettel, yet ends the chapter saying Vettel did things in the car that he was incapable of himself. He talks at length about every moment he felt like the team let him down, yet skims over every part where he binned the car or got beaten fair and square. Throughout the entire book he blames everybody (especially Helmut Marko) except himself and 'Team Webber' as he calls it. In other words he wanted favoritism to prove equality. At the same time he is angry because Red Bull refused to give him #1 status in 2010. Is it normal practice for a biography to be so full anger? He is angry because he claims that Red Bull favored Vettel. I am about half way through Mark Webber's autobigraphy (Ausie Grit).
