Mark Webber is a popular
Formula One driver because of his outspokenness and candidness. Whenever he
speaks, people like Yours Truly listen as he always hits the bull's eyes.
However,
when he complained about being penalised for taking a taxi ride from Fernando Alonso after
the conclusion of the Singapore Grand
Prix, Yours Truly thinks there is one thing he should do.
Shut
up.
As
has been made clear time and again by the stewards and so many others, he was
not penalised for the taxi ride per se. Rather,
he was punished for creating an extremely dangerous situation.
First,
Nico Rosberg almost
ran over him. Then Lewis
Hamilton had to take evasive action to avoid Alonso's car.
And
comparisons have also been made with Tom Pryce's horrific accident at the South
African Grand Prix in 1977.
Webber
is one of the smartest drivers in Formula One. But this time, he has out-smarted
himself, and almost cost himself dearly.
