Briatore says Webber will win F1 title

According to former Renault F1 team boss Flavio Briatore Mark Webber will win the 2010 Formula 1 championship this season. Briatore, who happens to be Webber's manager, has said that Webber is one of the most intelligent drivers at the grid currently.

“Mark my words," Briatore warns in Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. “Webber is on his way to win the championship this season. I'm not just saying this because he is one of my drivers, but because everyone who watches his races lately can see it. Mark is a driver who can deliver exceptional performances on track and shows he is extremely mature on track too.

“In Hungary he was the first driver to realize he could take a bit of a risk to race 75% of the race on the softer Bridgestone compound. That decision brought him his victory in Hungary. It just proves what an intelligent driver he is."
