Mark Webber vented some frustration from his podium-robbing exit from last month’s Japanese Grand Prix, by attributing some blame to race-leader Lewis Hamilton, who, the Australian said, was doing a ‘shit job’.
Webber’s race ended when Toro Rosso rookie, Sebastien Vettel, crashed into the back of Webber whilst in safety car conditions.
Webber said that Hamilton was going far too slow in his McLaren and was backing up the field, which ultimately caused the chain reaction that robbed the Red Bull driver of a certain podium and possible race win.
"I got pretty much slaughtered by the British gutter press about what I said," wrote Webber in his column for Eurosport.
"I guess that's what happens when you say something negative about the golden boy,” he said.
"Cowboys don't cry, I say, and I have some pretty thick skin," he added.
"It's old news now, and those newspapers are already wrapping chips, so what difference does it really make?"
