Mark Webber admits that he is cautious of the challenge put forward by Fernando Alonso and Ferrari last time out at Silverstone. As the Australian failed to overhaul Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel for second, the Spaniard convincingly enjoyed his first victory of the 2011 season.
This weekend, Round 10 takes the circus to Germany’s Nürburgring for the first time since Webber won his maiden Grand Prix two years ago.
“It is a chance for us at Red Bull to bounce back after Ferrari and Fernando Alonso came out on top at the British Grand Prix,” Webber wrote in a column for BBC Sport. “Irrespective of how good it looks for my team-mate in the Drivers' Championship and Red Bull in the Constructors' battle, you still don’t like being beaten.
“So it was not a particularly nice feeling on Sunday night at Silverstone - everyone put in their best effort and we got done. Ferrari and Fernando were very, very competitive there.
“Fernando's a wise old fox and he will definitely be a force in the next two races. I remember racing him back in Formula 3000 at the Hungaroring, which hosts the Hungarian Grand Prix the week after Germany, and he has always been very, very fast there. He is not too dusty around the Nürburgring either.”
