BRDC Evening with Mark Webber
16th Nov 2009
Last week, I and a number of other drivers from the Rising Stars/Superstars programmes were lucky to attended ‘An Evening with Mark Webber’ at the BRDC Clubhouse at Silverstone.
Mark gave us a great insight to his past and present career, and what he has to do to remain a world class a racing driver in the world of Formula 1.
I really enjoyed the chilled out conversation with Mark. He talked about all the sacrifices he had to make when he was younger to get there. It took a little bit of pressure off my shoulders because as a driver it can become very hard to keep pushing 110% when you might not know what or where you’ll be racing in the coming months, so for Mark to say he was at one point in the same position that I’m in my career gave me even more drive to not give up and to keep pushing.
Once again, I would like to thank the BRDC for helping young drivers like myself, and for putting on yet another enjoyable evening.
