Mark Webber drove an outstanding race to take the chequered flag in the

2012 British Gran Prix. Webber started just behind pole sitter Fernando Alonso and attacked him at the end of the race to take 1st place. The Spaniard had a great race as well and showed the big progress that Ferrari have made since the start of the season, but this time, it was the soft compound tyres that didn’t let the Ferrari driver to match Webber’s pace in the final stint. However Alonso felt great at the end of the race because he was able to add 18 points more to his championship aspirations. Although Mark Webber hasn’t win the Australian Gran Prix (yet), this race for him is almost like a home race. Mark Webber have yet to renew his contract with red bull or look for another team for the next season and I think this results just place him in a great spot to renew with redbull. Currently he is second in the drivers championship and although he have struggle in qualifying and at the start of the races he had been constant when it comes to finishing races and scoring points which is a common fact with current leader Fernando Alonso. Below is the drivers standings in this year’s championship.
