Apart from Sebastian Vettel, none of the front-running Formula 1 drivers are having a particularly great season: Lewis Hamilton has had frequent trips to the stewards office, but only one win to his name; Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso can also count their 2011 victories on one finger; Felipe Massa and the two Mercedes drivers have barely been on the podium, let alone challenging for the big prize.

Arguably though, one driver is having a much worse season. Mark Webber may have been the only driver to knock Vettel off pole position, but he has not taken a single win. Unlike his fellow strugglers, he cannot even blame a lacklustre car – it is the same model that has taken Vettel to six wins and a championship lead of 80 points. If being hopelessly out-shone by his team-mate is not bad enough, intra-team relations are a little strained for Webber after he chose to ignore radio instructions in the closing stages of the British Grand Prix.

The season is not a complete disaster though. He is second in the driver standings and, if anybody is going to overhaul Vettel’s giant lead, Webber is the best placed man to do it. F1 Germany Grand Prix 2011 Live
F1 Germany Grand Prix 2011 Live. And where better to start the fight back than at the track where Webber scored his first Formula 1 victory: the Nürburgring ring, venue of this weekend’s German Grand Prix. Back in 2009, the last time F1 visited this venue (the German Grand Prix alternates between here and Hockenheim), Webber took (his first) pole position and headed a Red Bull one-two. Click here
