2004
Continuing with Jaguar in 2004, Webber qualified sixth fastest for the first race of the season, the Australian Grand Prix, but faced his second consecutive retirement from his home race, this time due to a gearbox failure. Drivers and constructors The following teams and drivers competed in the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship. The 2004 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on March 7, 2004 at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit. The following race, the Malaysian Grand Prix, Webber produced the best qualifying performance of his career, splitting the dominant Ferraris to line up 2nd on the grid. The 2004 Malaysian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on March 21, 2004 at the Sepang International Circuit. The race was disappointing though, a stall at the start meaning he was well outside the top 10 by the time the cars reached turn 1. An aggressive lap saw him move up to ninth place, but during an exciting battle with Ralf Schumacher, the German collided with him and forced Webber to pit with damage to his front wing and tyre. Ralf Schumacher (born June 30, 1975 in Hürth-Hermülheim near Cologne is a German racing driver and the younger brother of seven-time In his desperation to make up for the lost time, Webber exceeded the pitlane speed limit and was handed a drive-through penalty, which left him even further behind. More frustration eventually led to the end of his race, as he spun into the gravel trap on the outside of the final corner on lap 23. The situation improved for the following race in Bahrain though, as Webber picked up his first point for the season despite a small mistake in qualifying which left him in 14th and marked the first time he had been outqualified by his teammate in F1. The 2004 Bahrain Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on April 4, 2004 at the Bahrain International Circuit. [30] He was unable to continue his pointscoring form, however, as intermittent electrical problems in San Marino and a lack of grip in Spain meant that he could do no better than 13th and 12th in those races. The 2004 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on April 25, 2004 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola The 2004 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on May 9, 2004 at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Amid Jaguar's announcements of special one-race sponsorship deals with movie Ocean's Twelve and diamond company Steinmetz Group, Webber suffered two engine failures in practice for the Monaco Grand Prix, the first of which forced Webber to extinguish it himself after being unable to find a trackside marshall willing to help.

[31] In the race itself, Webber was forced to retire due to a loss of engine power, but he was able to pick up two Championship points in the following race with a seventh place finish in the European Grand Prix. The 2004 European Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on May 30, 2004 at the Nürburgring. Webber lined up 14th on the grid after being handed a one-second penalty for yellow flag infringements during Friday practice,[32] but was able to move through the field to take his points tally to 3. After the race he was criticised by Michael Schumacher for refusing to yield after Webber emerged from his pit stop slightly ahead of (but one lap behind) Schumacher,[33] although after hearing the comments, Webber said he "would do exactly the same again" in the same situation. In motorsports a pit stop is where a racing Vehicle stops in the pits during a race for refuelling new Tires repairs mechanical adjustments [34]
Consecutive retirements in Canada (hit by Klien[35]) and the United States (oil leak[36]) and a 9th place finish in the French Grand Prix preceded a further point in the British Grand Prix, although his total of 4 points compared unfavourably to his 12 scored by the same time in the previous season.

It was at this stage that former teammate Pizzonia returned to racing as a replacement for the injured Ralf Schumacher, and upon his return he accused Jaguar of favouritism towards Webber during their time as teammates, saying that Webber received new car parts one or two races before Pizzonia. [37] The claims were categorically denied by Jaguar boss David Pitchforth,[38] and whilst Webber did not publicly comment on the situation at the time, he picked up his best finish of the season by finishing sixth in the German Grand Prix, running ahead of Pizzonia for the entire race. The 2004 German Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on July 25, 2004 at the Hockenheimring. [39] Meanwhile, reports emerged that Jaguar could not guarantee that they would compete in Formula One for the 2005 season,[40] and on July 28 it was announced that Webber would drive for WilliamsF1 for 2005 and beyond, later admitting this was the team that his "heart was always set on" throughout negotiations.

The penultimate race of the season in Japan saw Webber produce another good qualifying effort as he set the third fastest time, but his race ended prematurely as he suffered from a badly overheating cockpit, the cause of which could not be determined by Jaguar. The 2004 Japanese Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on October 10, 2004 at the Suzuka Circuit. [42] The Brazilian Grand Prix marked Webber's last race for Jaguar, and Jaguar's last in Formula One, but it ended sadly for the team, as Klien turned in on and collided with Webber as the Australian attempted to make up for a pit stop delay earlier in the race. The 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on October 24, 2004 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. Webber was forced to retire due to the damage and watched the remainder of the race from the grass on the outside of turn 1 as Klien finished 14th.
Webber was granted an early release from his Jaguar contract to be allowed to test with his new team Williams over the winter. Williams had announced earlier that Jenson Button would drive for the team in 2005 alongside Webber, but after claims the Brit was still contracted to BAR, his contract with Williams was overturned.

After qualifying fourth, Webber was running behind the Renault of Giancarlo Fisichella, who was struggling due to a lack of downforce and tyre grip. As Webber closed in and attempted a pass around the outside of turn 15, Fisichella locked up his brakes and slid into the side of Webber's car, eliminating both drivers from the race. Fisichella was later reprimanded by race stewards because of the incident,[49] but as Heidfeld took third in place of Webber, the weekend came to epitomise Webber's growing reputation as a fast qualifier who did not perform well under pressure in race situations. [50] It was later revealed that Webber had competed in the first two races carrying a fractured rib, an injury he had sustained during pre-season testing at Barcelona, though he "didn't want to make a fuss" about it and would be fully fit in time for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

After qualifying fifth in Bahrain, a spin under pressure from Kimi Räikkönen whilst in third place saw Webber ultimately finish sixth,[52] taking his points tally to 7 for the season. Kimi-Matias Räikkönen (ˈkimi ˈmɑtiɑs ˈræikkønen born October 17, 1979 in Espoo) is a Finnish Formula One race car driver currently He followed this up by qualifying fourth and finishing a disappointing 10th after twice running wide off the track in the San Marino Grand Prix, although his position was revised to 7th after the disqualification of the BAR team and a penalty to Ralf Schumacher.

The 2005 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One race held from May 6 to May 8 2005, at Circuit de Catalunya. The following race in Monaco saw Webber take the first podium finish of his career, with third. The 2005 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on May 20 May 22, 2005 at the Circuit de Monaco. On the rostrum however, Webber looked noticeably disappointed with the result after losing second to teammate Heidfeld due to the Williams team pitting Heidfeld before Webber, which caused Webber to lose time behind the slow Alonso. Webber had run ahead of Heidfeld all race long and would have been second had the team pitted them in regular sequence. [53] The best result of Webber's career was followed by one of his worst at the European Grand Prix. The 2005 European Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on May 29, 2005 at the Nürburgring. After qualifying third, Webber locked his brakes and had a collision with Juan Pablo Montoya in the very first corner of the race, forcing him to retire as Heidfeld went from pole position to take an impressive second-place finish, overtaking Webber in the Championship in the process. Juan Pablo Montoya Roldán (born September 20, 1975, in Bogotá, Colombia) is a Race car driver in NASCAR for Chip [54] The following race in Canada was affected by this result, as Webber was only able to qualify 14th, but he was pleased with an eventual 5th-place finish and a further 4 Championship points. The 2005 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on June 12, 2005 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. [55] The United States Grand Prix (where only 6 cars took part) was the beginning of a lean streak for Webber, with just one pointscoring finish in the next seven races, a seventh in Hungary, but by this stage he had slipped from 6th to 10th in the World Championship. The 2005 United States Grand Prix was one of the most controversial The 2005 Hungarian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on July 31, 2005 at the Hungaroring circuit Webber had another poor race in Turkey, where he collided with Michael Schumacher, causing extensive damage to both cars. The 2005 Turkish Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on August 21 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit in Istanbul, Turkey.
With Heidfeld injured, Webber's former Jaguar teammate Antônio Pizzonia stepped into the second Williams seat, with added pressure on Webber to perform well given the public argument the pair had towards the end of 2004. The Italian Grand Prix saw Pizzonia gain the upper hand, driving to seventh whilst Webber was caught up in a first-corner incident which saw him finish 14th. The 2005 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on September 4, 2005 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza circuit [56] The roles were reversed for the following race in Belgium, as Webber raced to fourth but Pizzonia retired after a collision with Juan Pablo Montoya in the closing laps. The 2005 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on September 11, 2005 at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Spa, Belgium With rumours that Heidfeld had in fact signed with BMW Sauber for the 2006 season spreading,[57] Pizzonia continued in the race seat, and in the Brazilian Grand Prix, was clipped by David Coulthard in turn one. BMW Sauber F1 are a Formula One team with bases in Hinwil, Switzerland and Munich, Germany. The 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on September 25 at Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, Brazil The contact caused Pizzonia to spin into the path of Webber, forcing extensive repairs to the Australian's car. [58] Webber eventually finished 17th and set the race's 8th fastest lap,[59] but was not classified as a finisher. The final two races of the season saw Webber take 4th and 7th to consolidate his 10th place in the Drivers' Championship. Webber described the 2005 season as "frustrating" and acknowledged that his reputation had somewhat diminished,[60] but he opted to stay on with Williams despite an offer from BMW Sauber.

2006
For the first time in Webber's career, the first race of the season was not held in Melbourne, and instead was in Bahrain. The Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit is a street-based circuit around Albert Park Lake, only a couple of kilometres south of central Melbourne. The 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix was the first round of the 2006 Formula One World Championship held on March 12, 2006 at the Bahrain International Circuit Webber qualified 7th and had a solid race to finish 6th and pick up 3 Championship points. Although Webber was considered by some to have the better race performance,[62] this was generally overlooked for the fact that Rosberg set the fastest lap in his debut race and moved through the field well after a first-lap incident. [63] The following two races, in Malaysia and Australia were cut short due to mechanical problems. The 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix was the second Formula One Grand Prix of the 2006 season The 2006 Australian Grand Prix was the third race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship. In Malaysia, Webber started 4th on the grid and was still running in that position before a hydraulics failure ended his race on lap 14. For the mechanical technology see Hydraulic machinery and Hydraulic cylinder Hydraulics is a topic of science and Engineering In his home race, Webber qualified seventh and was leading the race (before his first pit stop) when his gearbox failed on lap 22. In motorsports a pit stop is where a racing Vehicle stops in the pits during a race for refuelling new Tires repairs mechanical adjustments [64] A sixth-place finish in San Marino saw Webber move up to 9th in the Championship, but in the European Grand Prix hydraulics failure struck again to end his race after he had fought up to 12th from 19th on the grid (due to a mid-weekend engine change). The 2006 San Marino Grand Prix was the fourth race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship. The 2006 European Grand Prix was the fifth race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship.
The Spanish Grand Prix marked the first time Webber failed to make the top-10 cutoff in the new qualifying system, and he struggled during the race to eventually finish ninth. The 2006 Spanish Grand Prix was the sixth race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship. Monaco, however, saw a huge improvement, with Webber qualifying on the front row (after Michael Schumacher's grid penalty) and holding third for a large part of the race before retiring after his exhaust burned a wiring loom. The 2006 Monaco Grand Prix was the seventh race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship Michael Schumacher (German pronunciation;) (born January 3, 1969, in Hürth-Hermülheim, Germany) is a former Formula The pace Webber showed displayed his talent when he has a good enough car, as aerodynamic efficiency is not as important at Monaco, and Webber's car was not as disadvantaged as at most other venues. [65] In the 2006 British Grand Prix Webber crashed out on the first lap after an incident with Ralf Schumacher and Scott Speed. The 2006 British Grand Prix was the eighth race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship. In France, Webber suffered a spectacular tyre blowout at maximum speed. He gathered it up & parked it in the garage. Germany was one of Webber's strongest races of the year. He was on target for a podium until Mechanical failure stopped him in his tracks with only 9 laps to go. The Hungarian Grand Prix was another retirement for Webber, as he slid into a barrier in the wet conditions and crushed his front wing under the chassis of the Williams.
2007
Webber's two-year contract with Williams finished at the end of 2006. Pre-season testing Pre-season testing began in November 2006 at the Circuit de Catalunya, with ten of the eleven teams participating in the test sessions "F1 2006" redirects here For the video games based on the 2006 Formula One season see F1 06 & F1 CE. The team, however, held an option on his services for 2007 which they choose not to take up on its original terms. Although Webber had expressed his desire to stay with the team, Williams offered Webber a considerably smaller salary than had been stipulated in the original contract for the option year. Under advice from his manager, Flavio Briatore, Webber then sought another drive. Williams quickly elected to promote current test driver Alexander Wurz to a race seat. BMX Wurz first tasted competition in the BMX World Championship and won it outright in 1986 [66] Williams team boss Sir Frank Williams stated that he was reluctant to wait for Webber to commit to the team once the option for future years had expired, though he did not blame Webber for waiting to see if there was a seat available at another team.

After some speculation of Webber joining the Renault team, which is run by his manager Flavio Briatore, it was announced on August 7, 2006, that Webber would join Red Bull Racing for 2007 to partner David Coulthard, replacing former Jaguar Racing team mate Christian Klien. 1970s and 1980s 1977 Renault first involvement in Formula One was made by the Renault Sport subsidiary Flavio Briatore (born April 12, 1950) is an Italian businessman Events 322 BC - Battle of Crannon between Athens and Macedon following the death of Alexander the Great.

Adrian Newey (born December 26, 1958) is currently the chief technical officer of the Red Bull Racing Formula One team The car is fitted with a Renault RS27 engine.
In the first race of the 2007 season, in Melbourne, Webber qualified an impressive 7th place and held that position for the early part of the race, managing to finish in 13th position after the RB3 suffered from a throttle-related malfunction and a jammed fuel flap.
In the Malaysian Grand Prix, he again out qualified experienced team mate David Coulthard, and finished tenth, encouraging for such a new and radical car for the team. Bahrain was also going well for both drivers, running sixth and seventh, until both cars retired due to mechanical malfunctions. The 2007 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix is a Formula One motor race and is the third round of the 2007 Formula One season. Webber again was hampered by the aforementioned jammed fuel flap, radically affecting the aerodynamic drag, which is a vital set-up point for the Sakhir circuit. Sakhir ( Arabic: الصخير is a Desert area located in the Kingdom of Bahrain, near Zallaq.
The potential of both the car and Webber, who has certainly worked well this year to out-qualify his vastly more experienced team-mate, is high lighted by the closeness they are running to engine suppliers Renault, although the Newey-designed car has had flaws which have inadvertently led to Webber's scoreless season thus-far. 1970s and 1980s 1977 Renault first involvement in Formula One was made by the Renault Sport subsidiary Adrian Newey (born December 26, 1958) is currently the chief technical officer of the Red Bull Racing Formula One team
Though pace of the car seems to be picking up, with Coulthard qualifying in the top-10 for the Spanish Grand Prix, Webber was unable to convert his early weekend pace into a competitive grid position due to hydraulic problems. The 2007 Gran Premio de España Telefónica was a Formula One motor race fourth round of the 2007 Formula One season, won by Felipe Massa. His race was much the same, with a similar hydraulic problem retiring him early in the race whilst team-mate Coulthard notched up the team's first points with a competitive drive to fifth.
Webber finally recorded the second podium of his career at the European Grand Prix, after qualifying in 6th position. The 2007 European Grand Prix was the tenth race of the 2007 Formula One season. A rain spiced race, and the retirement of Kimi Räikkönen who was running third at the time, allowed Webber to claim the final position on the podium. However, he almost lost it on the penultimate corner, barely holding off Alexander Wurz. BMX Wurz first tasted competition in the BMX World Championship and won it outright in 1986
His best chance at winning a race occurred at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix, where in the wet conditions Webber excelled, running competitively in 2nd place, and setting the 3rd fastest lap of the race only behind the 2 McLarens. The 2007 Japanese Grand Prix was the fifteenth race of the 2007 Formula One season. Towards the end of the race, Webber was running 2nd behind Lewis Hamilton with no further pit stops to make until Sebastian Vettel, driver for sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso, ran into the back of him under a safety car taking both cars out of the race.

Louise Goodman is one of the two pitlane reporters for ITV 's Formula One coverage Kids with not enough experience, doing a good job then they fuck it all up. "

Webber looked strong in the race, running as high as fourth, before yet another mechanical failure brought an end to an all round disappointing season for the Australian.
2008
As per his contract, Webber started the year in Melbourne with Red Bull Racing. The 2008 Australian Grand Prix was the first race of the 2008 Formula One season, and was won by McLaren - Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. Red Bull Racing is one of two Formula One teams owned by Austrian Beverage company Red Bull. He shone all through practice in Melbourne, recording fifth in Friday Practice 1, second in Saturday Practice 2, sixth in Saturday Practice 1 and was going on to easily make the top ten in Saturday Qualifying. Unluckily, the front right brake disk in his car failed going into turn 6 during Q2 (Qualifying Session 2), plunging him into the sand trap - thus ending his qualifying session in Melbourne for 2008, ultimately qualifying 15th.
Although getting off to a reasonably good start to the race, he momentarily went off the track at turn 1 to avoid being involved in the contact that had already erupted. Webber made several positions by turn 3, but an incident involving himself, Kazuki Nakajima and Anthony Davidson, he was slightly contacted by Davidson whilst trying to avoid the struggle between Kazuki and Anthony. is a Formula One driver from Japan for the Williams - Toyota team Anthony Denis Davidson (born 18 April, 1979 in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England) is a British Formula One This contact ended the race that was looking so promising for him.
Despite the retirement in Australia, the next 5 rounds saw a string of point scoring positions, including a 4th at Monaco in the wet, one of the few finishers not to have made a mistake and subsequent pit, however the performance was neglected in the shadow of Hamilton's win. The string of finishes let alone points finishes has indicated improved reliability for Red Bull, many have commended Webber's qualifying efforts only to drop a couple of places during the race as faster teams swamp the slower Red Bull. As of May 2008, Webber has made his best start to a F1 season since his 2005 season with Williams, currently in 7th in front of Renault's Alonso, equal on points with McLaren's Kovalainen. Webber is currently one of only 4 drivers in the field to have had point finishes in 5 of the seasons 7 races thus far; the others being Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen and Robert Kubica, who sit 2nd, 3rd and 1st in the championship respectively.

In November 2003, Webber set up and competed in a 10-day trek across Tasmania in an attempt to raise funds for children's cancer research charities. Tasmania is an Australian island and state of the same name It is located south of the eastern side of the Continent, being separated from it by Bass Cancer (medical term Malignant Neoplasm) is a class of Diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled Starting in Marrawah on the state's west coast, the trek involved 1,000 km of cycling, kayaking and trekking along the southern coast and finished at Coles Bay in the east. Kayaking is the use of a Kayak for moving across water Kayaking is generally differentiated from Canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of Four teams of four competitors each started the trek, with only two teams (including Webber's) completing the entire journey. [73] Along the way, Australian sporting stars Pat Rafter, Steve Waugh, Cathy Freeman, James Tomkins, Guy Andrews and actor Joel Edgerton completed certain parts of the trek. Patrick "Pat" Michael Rafter (born 28 December 1972 is a retired Australian former World No Stephen Rodger Waugh, AO (born 2 June 1965 in Canterbury New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer and fraternal twin of Mark Waugh Catherine Astrid Salome Freeman, OAM (known as Cathy Freeman) (born 16 February 1973 is an Australian sprinter who is particularly associated with James Bruce Tomkins, OAM (born 19 August 1965 in Sydney New South Wales) is an Australian Rower and a three-time Olympic gold medalist Guy Andrews, educated at Cranleigh School (1974-79 and St Peter's College Oxford University is a British television writer who has written for television programmes Joel Edgerton (born June 23, 1974) is an Australian film and television actor The challenge concluded with a black tie dinner and auction to raise funds. Black tie is a dress code for semi-formal evening events and is worn to many types of social functions "Auctioneer" redirects here For the DC Comics supervillain see Auctioneer (comics. Webber said he was driven to organise the event after the death of his grandfather to cancer, as well as his experiences with friends whose children had battled the disease. [74]
With Webber's switch from Jaguar to Williams at the end of 2004, the challenge was postponed until 2006, when he was able to secure a three-year deal with the Tasmanian Government to hold the event. The form of the Government of Tasmania is prescribed in its Constitution which dates from 1856 although it has been amended many times since then [75] The 2006 event (now named the "Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge") was held over six days and covered nearly 600 km. Twelve teams competed. Webber’s challenge raised A$500,000 for children’s charities.
The 2007 Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge was launched at the formula one Grand Prix (2007) in Melbourne when Tasmanian aficionado Webber was joined by sports stars and Kylie Minogue, and Hollywood star Anthony Edwards (Top Gun, ER).
The 2007 Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge (MWPTC) will be another gruelling physical and mental adventure race about Tasmania in aid of charity but albeit with a new format.
Teams will compete for honours in two unique categories: the Van Diemen Cup – designed exclusively for corporate teams of four people, and the 2theXtreme Cup – a two person elite team entry. Both categories will trek, kayak and cycle alongside each other as they cover approximately 450km through World Heritage wilderness and along the idyllic coast of Freycinet National Park.
The 2007 challenge will be held from 17-23 November. Although the exact course details aren’t being released until 24 hours before the start, it has been revealed that the race will begin in Cradle Mountain, where a ‘prologue’ will determine the running order for the following six days, and finish in Hobart. And for the first time, one of Webber's fellow F1 drivers, Heikki Kovalainen, will join him in the challenge.
Webber is Tasmania’s unofficial ambassador-at-large and wears ‘discovertasmania. com’ on the chin bar of his racing helmet.
