Well done Mark Webber

How heartening to see Australian Mark Webber win the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Germany. Only the third Australian ever to win a prestigeous title in Formula 1 motor car racing, Webber has been on the world circuit since 2002. His Forumula 1 history not been a highly decorated with a best year-end ranking of 10th until 2009. Webber has also experienced many team-changes and last year suffered a broken leg.
However, still unable to run properly, Webber has had a turn-around in fortunes this year with a number of 2nd place finishes leading up to this breakthrough win in Germany.
It seems the stars have aligned for Webber, to allow his natural talent and speed to shine through. Unrest in teams and unreliability in cars has affected him in the past. Now ranked 3rd in the series, persistence is paying off.
In his win Webber acknowledged the support and encouragement of his team.
I'm a great fan of any athlete demonstrating persistence and self-belief and the willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve success. These same attributes will ensure success in any field, on the sporting field or beyond. Don't you agree?
