Crunch time for Australian F1 racer Mark Webber

Life seems to have come a full circle for Australian driver Mark Webber, not necessarily in terms of his performance on the track but with the teams that he has been associated with. One of the most promising drivers a couple of seasons ago Mark pretty much finds himself where he was after two seasons of going around the various circuits in the world.
Before his much promised move to Williams Webber drove for the Jaguar team the one that is effectively the same one to which he has come back two seasons later only that it is now called Red Bull. During his days at Jaguar he used be a driver with some tremendous talent but lil that his car could deliver to make him a real champion. So he waited for a bigger team and one that finally arrived with both Williams and Renault offering him a seat for the 2005 season.
Wonder if he would rue his decision to join Sir Frank Williams as he saw the declined French outfit zoom ahead with two back to back world titles with Spanish sensation Fernando Alsonso wining the drivers’ crown. But what is past is past, in the past two seasons he’s been at best an also ran. With few and far between glimpses of his driving genius one that came at the Monaco Grand Prix one that he finished third, he’s for in this period.
So is it an altogether a back to square-position for Webber… well it might pretty well be the same team, pretty much the same number of wins and I hope for him he still has the same hunger and passion for the sport. But this time two things change, one that he is two seasons wiser and two that he is two seasons closer to his finish. At thirty he might not really be any fit to carry on like a Schumacher. So all said and done this could be the season that could pretty much end or carry on his career for some more time.
