Mark Webber was underestimated by Sebastian Vettel, that’s the view of Gerhard Berger who’s been a busy man of late, sharing his views on several topics within Formula One.
The Austrian, who has a close relationship with Vettel from his past ownership days at Toro Rosso, believes the young German’s biggest problem is the unexpected resurgence of form from the Australian, which has come as a surprise to many.
“He is incredibly mature. It is true that he makes mistakes, but I still put him in the ‘lack of experience’ category,” Berger told Auto und Motosport.
“His biggest problem is perhaps that he underestimated Webber. This is a problem he shares with many people who did not believe Webber could rise again,” said Berger.
Despite the 23-year-old trailing his team-mate by two wins and ten points, the former Ferrari and McLaren driver is backing the ‘stronger’ Vettel.
“Mark is a very, very good man, but on balance I think Vettel is stronger.”
