Webber Extends Jag Contract

[AndyMac]

Yay! Mark Webber has signed to Jaguar till the end of the 2005 season.

Thou, I thought he had already confirmed next year, the F1 Live report, said that Jaguar have signed an up dated contract till the end of 2005.

Sweet! Nothing like an aussie in F1. Hopefully Ryan Brisco or James Courtney will join him soon.

[AndyMac]

I rekon James has done his dash. He crashes out too much.

Haven't heard too much on Ryan Briscoe for a while. I know his still under the Toyota Young Driver Program...I think ?

hes in european F3, won the last round, I think. and Will Davidson won the last English F3 round, James courtney is doing Japanese F3. Pretty good results from the Aussies, but I'm not sure that any of them have the moeny to buy an F1 drive

Anyone hear about Juan Pablo Montoya being nabbed by cops in France for doing 209km/h in his modded BMW M5? Apparently this was 80 over the speed limit. And get this, He chose to ignore the sirens and tried to keep going (prolly woulda outrun the cops if he kept going . He was reportedly chased 4 several km's before deciding to pull over. Apparently this will only result in a heavy fine and a 2 month suspension on his regular road licence but won't affect his F1. Go Pablo!

Yeah, Webber is with Jag. But is that really a good thing??? We still need to see reliability!!! He is DEFINATELY doing the best job he can and doing everything right, but is he really where he needs to be - especially until 2005. Surely such a good driver can get a drive ina better car. It is Jag, for God's sake!!!

starting in last

and with a 10 sec stop go

he comes 7th

if it wasnt for that stop go it would have been 4th

and he clocked the 3rd fastest lap time

jag is showing prommis if you ask me

maybe he just need to get the qualifiying right no that jag has got the lauch control happening

Driving for a big team is not that easy. Look at the personal sponsors that the big team drivers have and Webber can't compete.

Lets not forget, the current top teams don't last forever up there. History has shown it and it's showing. Ferrari have been dominating but have now lost that grip that had on Mclarens and Williams last year. Williams are disappointing this year and BMW may look elsewhere to shove their engine into. Renault are doing an excellent job and are taking the fight to the big 2 (ferrari and mclarens). Who knows where Jaguar will be in 2 years time?

webber did get lapped last race though, so they're not exactly that competitive - 1.10 behind the fastest. Much better than minardi though.

[AndyMac]

thats true, but the 3rd fastest lap of the race went to Webber...That must mean the package, driver included is strong...
