Red Bull Racing, Mark Webber, gave up on his chances to become world champion Formula 1 (F1) season 2011. Poor outcome in Monza, Italy on Sunday (11.09.11), which makes the Australian rider was not willing to continue his dream to embrace the most prestigious trophy in racing cars.
In the 12's series, Webber could scavenge hope to get points since the start of a sequence of five. But during the race, he had an accident that he failed to continue the race. Results actually achieved Sebastian Vettel on the contrary, because it's teammate on the podium first to embrace the eighth victory this season.
As a result, differences in points of two Red Bull is getting wider. If previously Webber just 92 points adrift and in the order of the two - although it has never won - they now have 117 points apart. Webber had now dropped to fourth, which stood at 167 points (the same as that collected McLaren driver, Jenson Button).
Mathematically, Webber still has a chance to catch up, because with the six remaining series then there is still a total of 150 points up for grabs. But look at the reality now, Webber will not wishing anymore. He was very pessimistic to catch Vettel. Therefore, Webber focused only to pursue the position of the two.
"I think now we're just fighting to be ranked two," said Webber told television reporters.
"I think Seb had been disappointed that would be very, very unusual in the rest of the season, if another rider can shift his position.
"He was in a great position. He has done a great job. And of course the car is very good today, so my chance was gone."
Nasil misfortune befall Webber when he brushed with Felipe Massa at the start of the race, after attempting to overtake the Ferrari, while fighting fifth position. As a result, his car broken front wing, and he lost control. In Parabolica corner, Webber could not control his car, which butting guardrail.
Not only was Webber who gave up chasing the world title. Massa's teammate, Fernando Alonso, who now occupy second position, also throwing a towel. 2005 and 2006 world champion admitted, with his present condition in which left 112 points, it is difficult to catch Vettel, who always look impressive in every series.
