What open-wheeler series are YOU watching? Obviously one with another Mark Webber in it underperforming!!
Let me list it:
Doesn't get outqualified at all in his debut season. Finished ahead of a Jaguar and a Toyota to finish 5th in his debut race. In a MINARDI, mind you!
Drives a solid 8th in the 2002 French GP (11 finishers, again in a MINARDI)
2003 season gets outqualified twice by teammate. Scores 17pts and quailfies 3rd twice and 6th three times. In a little-improved-from-2002 Jaguar.
Drives a brilliant race to finish ahead of a Ferrari and a Renault in Hungary for 6th place. (again in a little-improved-from-2002 Jaguar)
Many a time in the 2003 season did Mark Webber drive from relatively poor grid positions to a solid points finish. In fact, he finished in the points 7 times in 16 races, nearly 50% of the time! His teammates, Williams-rated Pizzonia and everyone-else-rated Wilson could only do it once in 16 races and outqualify him just twice.
Mark Webber's 2004 season again, in a quicker but less reliable Jag gets off to a great start in Oz and Malaysia. In qualifying, anyway. 6th in Oz, but gearbox failure puts him out, and a FRONT ROW start in Malaysia (only one of 4 drivers this season to split the Ferrari's in quali-the other 3 being in REALLY fast cars). Screwed at the start in Malaysia, where AGAIN, Jag's starting system lets him down. Ralf Schumacher hits Webber and gives him a puncture. Webber later spins off. IMO only his 3rd driver-error induced retirement of his CAREER.
Enough to warrant Williams being interested in him?

Well said.
What on earth is that other dude watching? Snooker? doesn't sound like the Webber that we know. How on earth could you say somethin like that!! Webber a one off? whaaaaaaaat?
Form is relative, talent is a CONSTANT.
alonso has faded recently, but i dont think that is him falling away, he'll be back, still think he is better than Trulli though.
