About Mark Webber

Mark Webber was born in 1976 in Queanbeyan, NSW. In 1996 he moved to Europe to pursue his motor racing dream. He made his Formula One debut in 2002, and won his first race in 2009 at the German Grand Prix. He retired from Formula One at the end of 2013 after 12 years in F1, 13 pole positions, 19 fastest laps and 42 podium finishes including nine race wins. Mark continues to race internationally for Porsche in the World Endurance Championship and lives with his partner Ann and their menagerie of animals in Buckinghamshire, England.
