Mark Webber apologised to Fernando Alonso for 'screwing him' in Bahrain. The Aussie was accused of unfair driving tactics on Sunday when 22-year-old Alonso waved furiously after taking avoiding action from an apparent brake test. 'Fernando must have thought I was really screwing him,' said Webber.
The Jaguar star said he was trying to decipher conflicting information. 'I had someone at the side of the track waving a blue flag at me and someone from the team screaming in my ear that I was racing for position,' he added.
On-board footage suggested that he intentionally braked for a corner too soon. 'I didn't brake,' Webber retorted, 'but I was slowing down to let him pass me. And then I was racing him again. I apologised to him afterwards.'
A disgruntled Alonso, who drives a Renault, hopped out of his car after 57-laps in Bahrain describing Webber as one of the 'hardest' drivers in F1 to overtake. 'It was his attitude [that made it so hard],' said the Spaniard.
