While talking about the F1 future of young Aussie Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull Racing consultant Dr Helmut Marko revealed his belief that Mark Webber will “probably retire” from Formula One at the end of the 2012 season.
Marko told Australian TV station One, “As with the other Australian, he is probably going to retire in 2012. We need to find one of our juniors who can replace Mark Webber.”
Confirming Ricciardo’s F1 career is entirely in his own hands Marko continued, “First of all, he has to beat his teammate, and he has to progress.
“He is losing too much in the pit stops, and losing too much when he is being lapped so he must get the feeling.”
When Marko was asked if the young Western Australian was likely to get a seat with Toro Rosso he replied, “If he is doing well, yes.”

I HATE Marko. Truly. Deeply. Passionately. 😉
I agree he is slower. Should be replaced by Daniel Ricciardo or some good drivers. Webber lost it. He just complaining always blaming somebody and ignored team order.
He would not like it if would be the other way.
Dr. H. Marko.
