Ditto.

It's great to see Mark Webber progress after being given his first F1 seat at Minardi at the ripe old age of 24. The way he conducts himself is fantastic ... very competitive and talented, and speaks his mind whilst also being socially aware and respectful.

Well done Mark!

Yes, it cetainly was a great effort and well deserved.
It did seem that this moment would never come for Mark webber and it looked like his chareer was destined to never reach any great heights, that he would be just another also ran.

It speaks much for the determination to succeed and the tenacity of the man.

Heartiest Congratulations to Mark Webber.
Cheers
Trevor

Things were looking great for him at the start, then when he got the drive through penalty I thought it was all over. To come back after that and still win is a fantastic effort, well done!

Wonderful to watch - I think I've seen all 130 of his races and has he had some rotten luck (and equipment). Anyone remember him driving to a very close 2nd at Monaco a few years ago, and nobody would blue flag the back marker he was tailing? He blew his top courtesy of the radio feed, then his engine blew a lap later.

He's always good for a quote too - likes to drop the F-bomb when it's warranted.

I loved his celebratory screaming over the car radio back to the pits after he'd won. Such complete and unbridled joy, and such an emotional release.

It had me punching the air in the loungeroom as I watched/listened live.
