Mark Webber’s manager, Flavio Briatore, says the reason his driver will come out on top in the battle for the title is that he uses his brain more than many others on the grid.

"Mark is a driver capable of exceptional feats. He has now reached a maturity and inner calmness that can take him really far,” Briatore told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“In Hungary he was the first one understanding that he could take a risk in running for three-quarter distance on the soft tyres he had at the start. That was the winning move, but it also demonstrated how much he uses his brain, unlike many others."
