Mark Webber insists “anything can still happen” before the end of this season, but says that he is looking forward to starting the 2012 season from the beginning and take the fight to Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
“I’m still driving well,” he said in his BBC column. “I had a bit of a slow start to this year because it took me a little while to get on top of the new tyres. I’m looking forward to taking on Seb – and everyone else – again next year.
“But this year isn’t over yet. There are still seven races to go, starting with Monza next weekend, and anything can still happen.”
“Although we could have reduced the camber, it was not absolutely clear that would fix it,” he added. “We push the cars to the limit and this was just something that happened. Because of all the tyre problems, we went into the race thinking about damage limitation rather than victory. But we made all the right decisions as a team and it turned out we got the ultimate result. We were very surprised by that.”
