Webber the dark horse of 2010 says team boss
|
08 March 2010 @ 16:26 GMT - Charles Cooper Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber is the dark horse for this season's championship says team boss Christian Horner. He feels that people overlooked him while he is at the peak of his career. The outfit's other driver Sebastian Vettel was runner up last season and is seen more of a title contender. But Horner has no doubt that the 33-year-old cannot be ruled out as a contender for the title this season. "I don't see any reason why Mark can't be a contender. People overlook him, but for me he is the dark horse of this year's championship. For sure, Sebastian is a prodigious talent, and to be challenging for a championship last year was remarkable for a guy in only his second full year of grand prix racing," said Horner. "A lot of lesser drivers would have wilted under the pressure of having Sebastian as a team-mate, but he hasn't. Mark is a very dedicated sportsman who trains very hard, applies himself 100%, and as an example to aspiring young drivers he is the epitome of what a grand prix driver should be," he explained. "He is in the latter years of his career, not at the end of it, and so he has a lot of experience behind him. He is still very driven, but he is also comfortable with where his strengths and weaknesses are, and he works hard on those," he said. |
