Webber: Spa is mind blowing

Webber: Spa is mind blowing

Mark Webber is relishing Formula One's return to the Spa-Francorchamps circuit where he hopes to challenge for the victory.

The Red Bull racer finished second at the track last season after pulling off the overtaking move of the grand prix when he roared past Fernando alonso through Eau Rouge.

This year, though, the Aussie is intent on going one better as he looks to cement his title challenge. With nine races to go, Webber is second in the standings, 40 points behind Alonso.

"It's one of the classic tracks where you feel like an F1 car belongs on the circuit," said the 36-year-old.

"We're looking forward to going there and challenging for the victory.

"Spa is the best track to have after a break and it's extremely rewarding for drivers at that venue.

"It's obviously remained pretty much unchanged for some time and it has a lot of character.

"Eau Rouge is a very special part of the track, the spectators love going to watch the cars there and I would encourage anyone to see it live once in their lives - it's mind blowing."
