Turns out the rumour a few months ago was right, Webber is off to Porsche.

Absolute champ, certainly exceeded the expectations of him when he first started. Won't be remembered as an all time great, but will still say in the same class as Barrichello, Massa etc. Unfortunately will regret 'that corner' in Korea until the day he dies.

Absolute champion, will miss him. Time to Step up Danny boy!

Sad day

Hopefully Ricciardo can replace him

 

[Smeg Head]

Wish him the best in that new challenge.

Really looking forward to seeing how the team dynamics play out for the rest of the season now!

 

[Klyntonius]

He's had an excellent career. Hope he can finish his F1 time strongly.

OP,you need to fix the headline to "Mark Webber to retire"
At the moment it makes it sound like he's already gone.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the title.

Glad he is seeing out the season.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Not at all surprised after his fallout with Seb & others at Red Bull.
Lets go for broke for the rest of the season

 

[Papa Juggs]

I hope he crashes into Vettel trying to overtake him.

He owes Mark one and if he won't let him through that's his fault

It was unfair how he was treated sometimes and he tended to be very unlucky at times, but I'll always remember the emotion when he won his first race at the Nurburgring.

For a swansong he should look to sabotage Vettel's 4-peat for the rest of the year but (un)fortunately he's too classy for that I think.

 

[hey shorty]

That spin in Korea will burn forever......

Well done Mark. Got the most outta himself and did the country and his fans proud

I dont, kick his arse fair and square if you can. But play it classy to the end.

Have a read of the 'Britney's in the Wall' section on there to see why

 

[Rod Stroker]

Disappointed he's leaving but not surprised.

And so the jockeying for seats next year ramps up.

How's the audacity of this prick, no doubt wanting to ensure that his new partner will be a clear number two

I hope Kimi fills the seat and wipes the floor with him.

His comments are actually pretty reserved and respectful in that article

 

[alfy!]

 

[alfy!]

Horner talking about it.

 

[The Maccies]

I hope whoever takes his seat beats Vettel regularly, wont we see some tantrums then.

 

[Frankster177]

Was never a real fan as he didnt drive for my team, but he has done well.
Made it to a top team and won races. to stand on the top step, would be amazing.

Is this a tribute to Webber or another 'let's bash Vettel' thread?

You should probably change your avatar to Vettel's mug.

God forbid we echo Mark Webber's obvious dislike of his own teammate.

I reckon you overstate it.

He's disliked things Vettel's done, but I don't think drivers are that worried about whether they like each other or not.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Webber doesn't lose sleep at night over Vettel not caring much for him, and this is probably the same with every other F1 driver, but given this is a sport are we not allowed to display our parochialism for our supported driver?

I'm a big Webber fan, and hopefully a continued Ricciardo fan into the future.

Vettel has been overly aggressive toward Mark a few times, but the reality is no one has a "team mate" in F1, the other guy with the same car is your no1 opponent wherever you are on the grid.

Hope ONEHD give him a job next season
