Webber's podium - will it ever come?
Malaysia, a tangle with Fisi over a podium place, now today, off the circuit (for whatever reason) when in another podium position

How long's Mark going to have to wait for his podium, especially with the speed, of Alonso's Renault, Trulli seems to be making the 2nd spot his own and the McLaren's have finally showed their potential.

I'd like to feel confident in that myself, but I have got the nastiest feeling that Webber has become flustered with the arrival of a descent team mate in Nick Heidfeld. I thought Nick would keep him honest, and, he has done a hell of a lot more than just keep him honest. I think Heidfeld will edge Webber out in the points tally, and take more podiums too.

It'll happen in the next few races, despite some mishaps in the last couple of grands prix he's showed himself to have the race craft and talent to mix with the recognised 'superstars' of F1. He just needs that podium to finally silence the critics I think.

What caused the spin for Mark today?

Mark has shown what he's made of.....I thought his racecraft, aggression and everything was top notch today. He should have had a podium.

I hope his spin was down to technical problems.......because it was a pretty dumb error if it wasn't.

Oh so that's OK then!

It was a silly error and it has thrown away a point or two. I'm sure he won't make the same mistake again!

Sure was a strange spin, but other than that, his race was okay but the McLarens were irresistable.

No specifics on the spin, but an early quote from Webber.

Qualifying well, backwards in the race.

Sums up his last few seasons.

Probably car-related though.

Hmm,

So near yet so far. Saw the aggression against PDLR but he shouldn't have been there in the first place. If that sounds harsh its not meant to be but jeez, when is this guy going to get his obviously talented act together?

I agree.

Talent, speed, agression. Great Williams driver qualities, but...seems like he'll have to control his temper to get that podium.

Just a shot in the dark, but I reckon his first trip to the podium will be to the top step.

Yeah, it was pretty clear the Williams wasn't the car to have today but I'm sure Mark will have his chance in the races to come.

Given some luck he should get a podium soon. I dont think its going to be easy for him though unless Williams step up the development. Renualt, Toyota and Mclaren seem to have the goods ahead of Williams atm. And dare i say Ferrari will soon be there as well, so unless Mark gets some luck its going to get harder and harder to get that podium let alone a win.

Mark needs two things to get a podium.......a little more luck and a better race day performance.

Fundamentally, he is very good. We know that. His qualifying lap on Saturday was mesmerising for example.

But he has long had a characteristic in races where he falls back a little. And this is going back to watching him in f3000. He would often be prodigious in qualifying and then get blown into the weeds on race day by Justin Wilson.

He needs to improve then.....but improvement isn't so far away. He will learn and get better.

Is he good enough?
Given that he is so highly rated why has it taken this long?

Will it ever come?

He hasn't had the car to do it with for that long.

It'll happen. Heidfeld was on the podium last time. Webber will get there too - within one or two races is my guess.

I don't think the guy is a god or anything (we already know that is valentino rossi!) but 'this long' is only 3 races in a car that even has a posibility of a top 3 finish. He has been at Minardi (MINARDI!!!) and Jaguar.

It will be increasingly difficult for podiums, as there are a lot of pretty evenly matched teams out there, even without Ferrari in the mix. Like the Red Bull situation, they need to get points and podiums as early as possible in the season, and I think that window of opportuntity is closing now. Toyota are better than anyone dared hope this year and Renault won't drop off by much, if anything. Being in the top 3 will be a major achievement for anyone this year.

He will eventually get a podium... he seems like one of those who is blinding quick over a single lap but just fades a little as the race wears on....

He also has had some rotten luck over his career.
