Aussie Grit hangs up his helmet

Mark Webber has announced he will retire from competitive racing at the end of the season, when he will become a special representative for Porsche. Webber scored nine grand prix victories for Red Bull during his F1 career before going on to win the World Endurance Championship in 2015. The 40-year-old has had an excellent career, and fortunately will still be around adding his expertise as a broadcaster and pundit.
