Webber's Aussie wheels
Formula One star swaps his Red Bull racer for FPVYou can take the boy out of Queanbeyan but you can't take Queanbeyan out of the boy. He may be an international grand prix racing celebrity but Mark Webber is still an Aussie muscle car fan at heart.
While he was in Melbourne for last weekend's Australian Grand Prix Webber got around town in this borrowed FPV F6.
Red Bull Racing's engine supply deal with Renault means the Australian usually gets around in a Megane Renaultsport R26. But the 310kW turbocharged FPV was very much to his liking, and he was reportedly very reluctant to give back the keys before he flew to Malaysia for the second round of the F1 championship this weekend.
"What a great car... this is what I miss in Europe... awesome Aussie muscle cars," Webber said.
The last time Webber was behind the wheel of a Ford was during his stint in the Blue Oval-owned Jaguar F1 team in 2004.
