Webber is quitting

I am sure that his actions, if correct, would not endure him to the principals and staff of the Renault Red Bull team. I know that winning at that level has to be of paramount consideration, but he should just count his millions and cry in the corner. As I've said before, if it's not one thing, it is another to cause his downfalls. Regards Styria

Webber is now 37 years old.
It's a common pattern for ex F1 drivers to go into endurance racing.
Besides, F1 for 2014 is an entirely new formula, with 1600 cc turbocharged engines. To me, that makes them no more than glorified go karts.
Having said that, I am quite sure that Renault can develop such a F1 engine to reliably deliver 800 h.p. Relatively, I don't see the RB team suffering a disadvantage.

If they have drivers clearly disobeying team orders, then there's big problems within the ranks of RB. He's better off without them but he should've signed with another F1 team, as he had potential to win more races.
I didn't know they were going back to turbos. How do the new engines compare to the last time they used forced induction?

The 1.5 litre V6 turbot Renaults of the mid '80s were one lap qualification bombs, but they DID produce up to 1,500 h.p. just before the formula was changed.
These days, the engines have to survive, doing all duties for at least three race meetings.

Poor camerman was taken to Hospital but is okay thank goodness!
Webber finished in seventh place.
What a way to say goodbye!!!
