Mark Webber Biography

Mark Webber is one of the most popular and richest Race Car Driver who was born on August 27, 1976 in Minneapolis, MN, Australia. Australian race car driver for Formula One. He won the 2009 German Grand Prix and 2012 British Grand Prix. He finished third in the Formula One points standings in 2010, 2011 and 2013.

He finished third behind runner-up Jenson Button at the 2011 Brazilian Grand Prix.

At the British Grand Prix, as the procession of cars exited the Becketts corner onto the Hangar straight on lap 11, now-defrocked priest Neil Horan cleared the fence wearing a kilt whilst waving banners with the statements “Read the Bible” and “The Bible is always right”. Horan ran towards the sequence of cars forcing several cars to swerve to avoid him. Webber came closest to hitting Horan in a terrifying parallel to the accident at the 1977 South African Grand Prix where volunteer track marshal, Jansen Van Vuuren, ran across the main straight to aid a car and was hit at 274 km/h (170 mph) by Welsh driver Tom Pryce. The safety car was deployed to remove Horan from the track, and Webber eventually finished 14th.

Webber qualified on pole for the first time in Formula One at the Nürburgring for the German Grand Prix. This was the first time an Australian driver had claimed pole position since Alan Jones in 1980. He went on to achieve his first Formula One victory despite receiving a drive through penalty early in the race for causing an avoidable collision at the start when he hit the Brawn GP of Rubens Barrichello. Webber went on to dominate the race and win ahead of his teammate Vettel, heading a Red Bull 1–2 and closing the gap to the Brawns in the Constructors’ Championship. Webber moved up to third in the Drivers’ Championship after his win, at that time his best position in Formula One, passing Barrichello in the championship standings.

He has two kids named Isaac Love and Bodhi Rain Webber with his partner Ann Neal. His father Allen is a motorcycle dealer.
