After two Grands Prix in which everything has gone wrong (at least away from than expected and we should also include the classification of yesterday), today, at last, Mark Webber has recovered the best version of himself. It was illogical for a pilot who last year fought for the title until the final race have a very considerable slump. What has given me to call the Massa syndrome.
The Australian has today made the best 24 pilots race at the track. Dating from the 18th position, without safety-cars which assist him and without a strategy it misses, Mark Webber has been the best example of the Ant that is doing his work gradually to achieve success. The third position today is a great prize. A couple of laps more and could even have aspired to steal second place teammate Sebastian Vettel.
Webber has overcome the need to remove more people than anyone else in their struggle to reach the top. And it has done at an incredible speed taking into account that it has stopped three times, as most of the world... Although it should be remembered that perhaps it is one of the main flaws of the pilot of Red Bull. Mark Webber works best in situations without pressure. When can make "their" career is a terrible driver, and has proved that today.
The problem comes when behind someone that press you. And today, the Hunter has been him and hunting a success. Without the error of yesterday, today Webber would have been a candidate course to victory, but as always the things when you have nothing to lose are better. In a match of your your, tires play, more if possible, a fundamental role. Today, attacking and to lower cars, Webber has had more control over the tires than if play you against the Vettel and Hamilton. Even so, neither German nor British have been better than the Australian on the track, what happens is that they have come much earlier.
