Thanks Ron,

A good read.

Recon if he had raced every race with the same delightful devil-may-care attitude that he did on his last, he would have lifted the title...

jeez i dunno....... i just dont think he was good (fast) enough.
admittedly i am not an F1 fan, motorcycles are my gig, however a claim of "favouritism" is a touch of sour grapes
i love aussies smashing everyone no matter what the sport, but, for various reasons i disliked stoner. He was and is the exact opposite of rossi who was always humble in victory and magnanimous in defeat! The perfect (multiple) world champion
just my 2c

Webber should have won in 2010, but I think temperament beat him. The pressure got to him. When you look at Schumacher and Vettel, they are 2 utterly ruthless drivers who let nothing stand in their way. Mark simply doesn't have that same temperament.
Of course, I don't believe he had equal equipment to Vettel in recent years, as evidenced by the number of mechanical failures he had compared to Vettel.

Great read. Some people are dealt bad cards from the start but still keep going. He's one of these. Kudos to him.

He also drove the last three or four races of 2010 with a broken shoulder - couldn't have helped.
