Well done Mark

I just wanted to congratulate Mark Webber on an outstanding year, and an outstanding final race too.

I sat up until 2:00am watching the race, and was enthralled by it - with 9 laps to go Jensen nearly 5 seconds behind, started taking chunks out of Marks lead over him, and on the last lap with Marks car not handling as it had been to hold the world champ off to claim second was amazing.

Considering Jensen is the best over taker in the business, it was a pleasure to watch.

But for Mark who came fourth in the championship I think is a real testament to his driving ability when you consider the following.

During the off season he had a nasty accident where he broke his leg, and was in doubt to even start the season, and was using pain killers whilst driving all the way up to the Spain GP. Then with other things like battling against the double diffuser of Brawn and some issues with reliability to boot, I think he's done an outstanding job, and hope to see him higher in the order next year.

And I still think that his first win in Germany was one of the best I've seen - in the past, and was acknowledged by Vettel yesterday, generally speaking after the first couple of laps that order was generally the order the races finished in, and obviously this year has been different, but for Mark to get a drive through penalty, which I still think was too harsh, and yet still go on to win the race, after effectively pitting once more than his next closest challenger in the race, just shows some great driving skill.

It's only a shame that now, I have one more Moto GP race to watch, but three of my favourite sports are done now for about 6 months, I'm left wondering what I'll be staying up late for now?

Maybe I'll take up reading?

Enjoy,
