Webber still believes he has a shot to become champion tomorrow
Despite a bad qualifying result for Mark Webber, the Red Bull Racing driver believes he still has a shot to win the championship tomorrow. The Australian will start tomorrow's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from fifth on the grid while his biggest rivals for the title are all in front of him.
After the qualifying session, Webber said: "The script is impossible to predict. Let's have a look at the end, and the world champion - one second after the race they will give it to him, whoever he is."
The Aussie admits that he expected to be higher up after the qualifying session at the Yas Marina Circuit.
"I did not expect to be fifth, I expected to be further up. But that is what happened. The stop watch starts at the beginning of the session, it ends at the end of the session and that is where I am. Of course I am not rapped with the qualifying today. Q1 and Q2 and P3 all looked okay, it was the crucial session that did not come together for us, which is a shame."
"In the end, if I was on pole, I am still not world champion. Tomorrow is the day when they are going to hand out what happens so I am still perfectly positioned to capitalise on any misfortune or someone has big tyre degradation, pit stops, safety cars – I can get amongst anything there still. So let's see how it goes. At the moment of course I am still disappointed but that is human nature."
