Red Bull’s Mark Webber has said that he will be looking to get another victory before he retires from Formula One.
Webber is yet to win a race this season with Sebastian Vettel dominating throughout the season. The Australian will be having a race against time as there are only two GPs left in the season.
“Well, it would be nice [to get a victory]. I’ve challenged for a few victories here and there this year but was not strong enough when it counted. In the end Seb was too strong in Abu Dhabi for the win. I’ve got a couple more races to go though, so all I can do is do my best. It’s not going to be a huge, huge difference [if I don't do it] but it would be nice to get it as any Grand Prix victory is always special. We’ll keep pushing and see how we go in the next two races,” Webber said.
However, Webber insisted that his poor start wasn’t the reason for Vettel’s win.
“I don’t think what happened off the line was decisive. Sebastian was [just] in another category today. So probably this [second] was the maximum result, even if we got away in front. He was quick and very, very strong. It was then obviously a recovery job against Nico [Rosberg] who got a better start than both of us. We know starts are not exactly my strong point, especially on these little babies – on the little Pirellis. So, anyway, we got away and then got into the race from there,” he said.
“The softs, I had a reasonable feeling for them when they were fresh but I had no real feeling for those tyres when they were scrubbed. So, I was very slow in the first stint. Very, very poor feeling with the rear, and then that makes it even worse. You have more and more slip and temperature control problems and all of those type of things. Anyway, it was regrouping at the stops after that and I think my pace wasn’t too bad after that but Seb was well and truly gone. Incredibly quick pace from him,” he added.
