Mark Webber on the Formula 1: Monaco Grand Prix

Mark Webber came in first at the Formula 1: Monaco Grand Prix this past week. After the race, he shared his immediate thoughts:

“An incredible day; this place gives you such amazing memories. There were different parts of the race where I had to be incredibly focused and make sure we really capitalised on the positioning we had. A good friend of mine sent me a text message this morning and said ‘You’re in charge, you’re in front and in charge’ and we were, but you can get bitten here very quickly. There were a few key stages around the stops that were interesting. Sebastian had his tyres very hot and was quick at that point and I couldn’t get mine going, but once he pitted I reverted my attention back to Nico and just looked after the rears until the end of the race. Then the rain came, which around here is very, very tough. But we had composure and experience and great team work on the pit wall. It’s a tough nut to crack this race, but we did it again. I had both hands on it today and I wasn’t going to let go.”

Formula 1, officially the FIA Formula One World Championship, is the most esteemed one-seater auto race in the world. Founded by Bernie Ecclestone in the 70s, the race transformed the sport into the billion-dollar business it is today.
