Webber annoyed by Räikkönen avoidance
Formula One news: Webber annoyed by Räikkönen avoidance - GPUpdate.net Formula One
Mark Webber was left to consider what might have been after his fastest qualifying lap was hampered by Kimi Räikkönen's slower Ferrari at Silverstone. As the Red Bull aimed to steal pole position, the Australian came up behind the Finn holding the racing line on the entry to Stowe corner.
An eventual result of third leaves Webber one place behind where he started the British Grand Prix from last year, although Mark is fully aware that the front row was a possibility. "I would have liked a slightly cleaner run on my last Q3 lap," he said afterwards. "Kimi was, I don't know, drinking some vodka or dreaming or something, I don't know what hell he was doing but he should have been on the right and he was on the racing line, dreaming; that wrecked my rhythm really into Stowe - I was very tight into there.
"Kimi couldn't have done a better job of distracting me. He was right on the racing line, on the most important lap of qualifying, and it ruined my rhythm. But no-one is here to listen to a shopping list of excuses; I would have liked to have got more out of the car on the last lap, that wasn't the case, we're still third. Congratulations to Seb (team-mate Vettel), he did a good job."
