Webber: Crash was 100 percent my fault

Friday 9th May 2008

Mark Webber has apologised to his Red Bull team for crashing in Istanbul on Friday, admitting the accident was 100 percent his fault.

Thirty minutes in Friday's second practice session, Webber lost control of his car, running across the track and hitting the barriers head-on.

Although Webber was unhurt in the accident there was significant to his RB4, which the team will need to repair overnight in order to have him ready for Saturday morning's practice.

"Going off the track at Turn 6 was 100 percent my fault," the Aussie admitted. "I didn't respect the green Astroturf that sits on the outside of the track enough.

"I was a bit too loaded up on the outside of the track, the Astroturf was a bit damp, and I went off, it was my fault.

"I apologise to the guys and we'll bounce back from this tomorrow."

Webber finished the session down in 19th place while team-mate David Coulthard was P4.
