Webber looks ahead to Abu Dhabi
Following his emphatic win at the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, Red Bull Racing Team driver Mark Webber gave his thoughts on the final race of the year, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and the new Yas Marina Circuit.
Webber: “As usual, the F1 season has been pretty long, but it’s still always good to have the chance to drive the car again, particularly when we’re in our current form. The last race of the year will be very interesting to go to, as no-one’s raced there before and it’s another street circuit – it sounds fascinating.
“I think it will be a good finale to the season and a timely end to the Championship. We’re all ready to start next year now, as the Championship titles are decided.
“I’m expecting Red Bull Racing to be pretty strong in Abu Dhabi. We’ve been pretty strong since Singapore, so there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t be fighting towards the sharp end again, no question about it. As usual, qualifying will be very important on a street circuit and then we’ll see how the race goes from there. We’re looking to finish off on a high for the team.
“I’ve heard the Yas Marina circuit has some nice undulations, which sounds good. It’s got a few fast sections to it and a slow section to finish off. I think it will be pretty dusty, but we’ll clean it up pretty quick; it’s always nice to go to a new track.”
