Mark Webber, building his own legacy - the modern Chris Amon

Chris Amon was active in Formula One in the 1960s and 1970s and is widely regarded to be one of the best F1 drivers never to win a championship Grand Prix. Mark Webber, highly rated, super quick and super unlucky Mark is blisteringly quick over one lap, rarely makes mistakes and is cursed with some horrible luck.

NNF1 players, Riccardo and Jon rate him highly, Riccardo reckons he was No2 last year, Jon rated 4th, also The RAT rated him 5th overall. It must be said neither of the three NNF1 players are Australian...

His most recent comment of the Red Bull team is "It's a good thing we don't make aeroplanes..."

Jean Alesi was to some extent in the same category but did ultimately win 1 GP, the Canadian GP in a Ferrari. He was quick as well but far more erratic in his execution.

Well we hope Mark's quota of kak luck is all used up and the and Red Bull can start building a good season. The positive signs are all there.
