 His best chance at winning a race occurred at the Japanese Grand Prix where , in the wet conditions , Webber ran in 2nd place , setting the 3rd fastest lap of the race after the two McLarens . Towards the end of the race , Webber was running 2nd behind Lewis Hamilton , with no further pit stops to make , when Sebastian Vettel , driver for sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso , ran into the back of him when Hamilton suddenly reduced his speed in poor visibility and heavy rain under a safety car , taking both cars out of the race . He had been lapping faster than Hamilton due to damage on the McLaren 's sidepod from contact with Robert Kubica . Out of the current Formula One drivers , until his win at the 2009 German Grand Prix , Webber has had the second highest number of starts without a win , and is often referred to as the " unluckiest man in modern Formula One " , a title that was reinforced in Japan as Webber started the race suffering from food poisoning and vomited inside his helmet during the first safety car period . When questioned by ITV 's Louise Goodman about the race ending collision Webber commented : " Well it 's kids , isn 't it . Kids with not enough experience , doing a good job then they fuck it all up , " Webber was particularly critical of Hamilton 's driving that led to the accident , describing his antics as " shit " . Webber also stated the British press attacked him for criticising their " golden boy " Hamilton .
