Mark Webber had more to contend with than just the loss of his potential podium in Japan yesterday, as he also drove the entire race suppressing a dog’s breakfast.
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner explained, "In Formula One you face many emotions and today Mark was driving a fantastic race. He had food poisoning this morning, which he was battling with and threatened to throw up in the car. We knew straight away it was not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’."
“He hadn’t swallowed his food properly and the g-forces were obstructing his ability to follow through.. But in true Aussie fashion, he kept pushing. We could here him on the radio yelling “I see a whole strawberry! Repeat! I see a whole strawberry!!” We screamed back “Push!.. Push!..”. When Sebastian hit him (Mark) in the rear all hell broke loose! It was very noisy and chunky. The entire pit-crew hit the decks.. Well their stomachs did anyway!”
