Briatore bets on Webber for the title

Flavio Briatore is convinced that Mark Webber will be the driver who will win the title at the end of the season.

The former team boss of Benetton, Renault and none other than the Australian's current manager, stated that after the victory in Hungary, Webber is more energized than he has ever been because he is aware of the fact that he can challenge and beat his teammate, the German Sebastian Vettel.

But the opponent towards the world crown is not only the young and rampant "Seb" but there are still Ferraris and McLarens and Fernando Alonso in fact, seems now to be the most aggressive of all, as well as the most constant in these last races.

“What he did on Sunday was phenomenal, but I'm not just saying Webber because he's one of my riders... I'm simply commenting on what everyone saw from home.

If it's a day, he's a pilot capable of performing exceptional feats: he has reached the maturity and inner tranquility that can take him very far and he knows how to use his brain perfectly... something that many other pilots don't know how to do."

Inevitable dig at Vettel's behavior in the pit lane?
