It is with great sadness that the Queanbeyan drive Mark Webber started from 2nd position on the grid for the Malaysian Grand Prix, but retired with tyre problems that started from other drivers hitting his car and then getting blue flagged on his return to the track.

Well this week end was not as good as it has been in the past. The Bates brothers in the Team INXS Ford did not finish the Bathurst 1000, retiring on lap 62. Mark Webber also dropped a place in the F1 championship. Mark started 6th but finished 11th at Suzuka. Overall he finished the season in 10th.

Well once again Mark Webber continues to hold he own in Formula One racing. Webber qualified 11th, and he conceded that this was not his best result, especially given his qualifying position in the last Grand Prix. He finished in the points in 7th position one lap down on the leader.

As for other local driver, Neil Bates was racing this weekend, even thought there was no ARC event. More...

Well this week was a good weekend for Canberra region race drives.

Neil Bates finished fifth and continues to improve his Toyota. However maybe they should use extra glue on the front bumpers. Check out as his bumper is coming off his brother lost his bumper and other photos of the rally.

Meanwhile on the other side of the planet, Mark Webber, who polled third had a good result finishing sixth, ahead of Trulli and Schumacher. This moves him up the ladder in F1.

LESS than three months after extending his Jaguar contract, Mark Webber is being linked to Williams, Formula One's current glamour team.

Despite contracts in place for Webber to stay with Jaguar until the end of 2005, a switch could come as early as next season.

Webber's name has come up amid speculation that Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya is set to move from Williams to McLaren.

The scenario could see Scotsman David Coulthard replace Webber at Jaguar.

A nine-times world champion team, Williams has become highly competitive again recently.

Ralf Schumacher has done more of the winning than Montoya but has not been as consistent.

Both are under contract until the end of next year, with Schumacher on a much bigger salary than Montoya, who is said by F1 paddock experts to be growing increasingly unhappy.

And the team is not particularly pleased with him, the authoritative website grandprix.com has reported.

Montoya went to F1 with high expectations and failed to live up to them.

Webber's name has been mentioned in connection with Williams, thanks to his strong showing this year at Jaguar Racing.

Webber was happy to commit to Jaguar long-term in early May but the chance to drive for one of the sport's top teams could be too tempting.
