In light of the “Crashgate” decision which took Flavio Briatore’s memory of F1 away from him, among other things, Mark Webber says if I can’t have Flav, I don’t want nobody baby.
Okay, he didn’t really say that, but in relation to Briatore being stripped of any rights to manage F1 drivers Webber did say this, “I’ve had Flavio looking after me for 11 years now. I never looked at the contract since I signed it the first year. He has been sensational for me and I won’t work with anyone else in the future if I can’t work with him.”
In the Aussie tradition of sticking up for your mates Webber also reckons F1 will be a lesser place without Briatore, “He is a very good character for our sport and a lot agree with that,” he said. “It doesn’t seem he will be around for a good while but that is the way it is.”
Let’s hope Webber, who has already re-signed with Red Bull Racing for 2010, can start his post-Briatore career with a good showing at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.

Good to see someone prepared to do that, respect to Mr Webber for that.
hahaha love the title of this post 🙂
good!
Hopefully Flavio was his bad luck charm. The DNF maestro as Roy & HG refer to him might be on the edge of turning things around. Probably too late for this season, but here’s to a solid end to the championship.
Good on you Mark, good luck for Singapore.
