The Aussie was unable to take advantage of current Championship leader Fernando Alonso's misfortunes at Spa, who got involved in a massive pile up at the start of the race in Belgium. Webber now fears a similar situation this weekend at Monza, a circuit known as one of the fastest circuits on the F1 calendar.
“The start was pretty wild, which can happen at La Source,” the Australian Red Bull driver said of the crash at the start caused by Romain Grosjean. “We settled into a race, but it became obvious quite early on that it was difficult for us to overtake. Obviously Seb and I had a little battle, which was fine, but after that, it just wasn’t possible to fight other people on the straight line, so that made it tough."
“We tried to undercut some people and roll the dice. I had Petrov on the out-lap, which is fair play to him as he’s just doing his thing, but we lost time there. We had a bit of luck at the start, but after that we didn't get the most out of the situation,” Webber added.
