Mark Webber no longer believes in the title
After his off-track incident in Italy this Sunday, Mark Webber admitted that he no longer believes in his chances of winning the title this season.
Before arriving in Monza to participate in the Italian Grand Prix, Mark Webber was in second place in the championship.
He was certainly 92 points behind his teammate Sebastian Vettel, but he thought he could still close that gap.
Although he has not yet won a race this season, his retirement in Italy has definitively put an end to his title ambitions this season.
«I think we are now fighting for second place with the McLaren and Ferrari drivers.
Indeed, Fernando Alonso finds himself in second place in the championship, ahead of Jenson Button, the Australian driver who has dropped to 4th position, and Lewis Hamilton.
If mathematically everyone can still believe in it, Webber remains realistic:
It would take a really catastrophic end of the season for Sebastian for us to get back into the title race. He is in a good position, he did an excellent job, and the car was perfect at Monza… so I clearly missed a great opportunity this weekend.
Everyone seems resigned to seeing Vettel retain his world champion title this season…
