If as is expected the 2012 title battle goes down to the wire, Mark Webber is not sure he would put his money on his Red Bull teammate.<\/p>\n
With a 10 point lead over Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and the faster car, Sebastian Vettel is the overwhelming favourite to win his third consecutive drivers’ championship late this month.<\/p>\n
But according to Webber, who like Vettel also races the RB8, the 25-year-old German should be worried if bad weather is forecast for Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n
“Sebastian needs dry weather there,” the Australian told Austrian Servus TV this week.<\/p>\n
“He can also drive in the rain, but Fernando is very strong,” said Webber.<\/p>\n
“And it can be wet in Sao Paulo,” he added.<\/p>\n
Another factor, he said, is the nature of championship showdowns, and the often tumultuous contests that take place at Interlagos.<\/p>\n
“In Sao Paulo there is always some drama,” said Webber.<\/p>\n
Indeed, he tipped the 2012 finale to be “very dramatic”.<\/p>\n
