Mark Alan Webber (born 27th August, 1976 in Queanbeyan, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian former Formula One driver.
Formula One
2001-2002: Jaguar
Webber's first foray into Formula One would come courtesy of the Jaguar team, where he'd spend the 2001 season as test driver. With the departure of Eddie Irvine at the end of 2001, Webber was promoted to the second seat for 2002 alongside Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa.
Webber would take an early point in the San Marino Grand Prix, but he would fail to score at any other stage in 2002.
2003-2004: Renault
Renault came calling for the young Australian in 2003, with Webber joining up with friend and former F3000 sparring partner Fernando Alonso in the French team.
The youthful lineup thrived for Renault, with Webber taking several points in the early stages of the season - his best being a fourth in Great Britain following a maiden pole. However, Webber and Renault took a major step forward two races later at the German Grand Prix. Webber would lead Alonso home from pole position and take a 1-2 for Renault at Hockenheim, a result that went against the form books for the year.
Webber was retained alongside Alonso for a second year in 2004. Webber scored a second place finish in the Monaco Grand Prix but was soon ruled out for three races due to injuries suffered at the United States Grand Prix. Webber was replaced by Canadian driver Jacques Villeneuve in this time but did manage to return for the final race.
