Notso Swift should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

On the other hand, after a slow start, Mark's performances diminished at the end of the season, having been, possbily the best driver of the season til 3/4 of the way through. It's like a batsman in cricket, who completely loses the plot in the 90s, after having played so well to get there.
Speaking of Potato heads... 3 of the last 4, 2 of those he had Webber on his tail not allowed to pass, despite leading the WDC and Seb being miles behind... for that reason alone I was backing Alonso praying it all blew up in RBR face
I am not a fan boy of his, no driver sees me gushing, but your dribble is just pooling on the floor and needs to be mopped up
I do remember doing the Proddies when he was in FF in 94 where it was obvious he was better than someone like Lowndes (in the same car)
IIRC Webber is now the oldest driver on the grid (he may be the only one still born in the 70's!), and he is there on merit, not because of any sugar daddy, actually he is there despite others having sugar daddies.

Of course he is number 2, 2013 will most likely be his last year and in all likelihood he will help RBR win another constructors championship because no other team has the depth of driving RBR has and the scoring will mean even if someone else wins the WDC over Vettel their car will need to be as revolutionary as an FW14b to beat the team
