9842_211	a season-high fourth at the . He qualified a season-high second for the but finished tenth in the
9842_212	wet-weather race. Thereafter, Webber's performance for the remainder of the season diminished
9842_213	mainly because Red Bull opted to sacrifice speed so it could focus on constructing a new car to
9842_214	comply with the regulation changes being applied for the championship. He scored points three more
9842_215	times in the final nine races for 21 points and 11th in the Drivers' Championship.
9842_216	Because of Red Bull's performance, Webber remained at the team for 2009.
9842_217	Webber sustained multiple injuries in a head-on collision with a car at a charity endurance cycling
9842_218	event in Port Arthur, Tasmania in November 2008, including a fractured right leg. He skipped a
9842_219	three-day pre-season test session held at the Jerez circuit, but was able to regain enough fitness
9842_220	to drive in an F1 car at the 2009 pre-season test sessions at Jerez and Barcelona, due to the late
9842_221	launch of the RB5 car. Webber underwent surgery between events to avoid contracting infections.
9842_222	Vettel, who was promoted from Toro Rosso to replace the retiring Coulthard, became Webber's
9842_223	teammate. Webber consistently scored points in seven of the first eight races, including three
9842_224	podium finishes to briefly become a championship contender. His performances improved when the new
9842_225	RB5 car's double diffuser was introduced. At the , Webber overcame a drive-through penalty he
9842_226	incurred for a first-lap collision with Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP car to achieve his first
9842_227	career victory from his maiden pole position. Webber was informed by Red Bull that he and Vettel
9842_228	could race each other "for the foreseeable future" even when trying to reduce Button's points lead.
9842_229	He moved to second overall after finishing third in Hungary but fell to fourth due to driver, team
9842_230	and reliability errors in the next four races. At the season's penultimate round, the , Webber took
9842_231	his second career victory and held off Button to finish second at the season's final race in Abu
9842_232	Dhabi for fourth overall and 69.5 points.
9842_233	2010–2013
9842_234	Webber and Red Bull negotiated a contract extension to the championship to reward his performance
9842_235	in 2009. His RB6 car was designed to channel engine exhaust gases through a bodywork slot to the
9842_236	diffuser's central area for more downforce and cornering speed. A knee training injury forced
9842_237	Webber to delay his preparation because a surgeon conducted a full knee incision. Inactivity during
9842_238	surgery increased Webber's weight to ; a strict diet kept his weight at . Upon his return to
9842_239	racing, he led the Drivers' Championship at various points during the season, achieving four Grand
9842_240	Prix victories and three pole positions. An accident with Rosberg at the and a second-place
9842_241	finish at the following put Webber eight points behind Alonso and seven ahead of Vettel entering
9842_242	the season-ending . Webber need to win the race and for Alonso to place third or lower to secure
9842_243	the championship. He was eighth in the race, which Vettel won and Alonso came seventh. Webber was
9842_244	third overall with 242 points. After the season, Webber was angry with Red Bull's management,
9842_245	thinking they devalued his achievements that year. He collided with Vettel in a duel for the lead
9842_246	at the , which cooled his relationship with Marko who blamed Webber for the accident and favoured
9842_247	Vettel, something Webber felt again after Vettel received a new front wing intended for Webber at
9842_248	the .
9842_249	He signed an Red Bull contract extension for the season before the , having agreed with the team
9842_250	to sign one-year contracts late in his career for ability and quality assessment. Webber's mental
9842_251	state worsened because he was ready to retire after a title win to stop all negativity related to
9842_252	his racing career. His RB7 car equipped with the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) and drag
9842_253	reduction system devices and an exhaust-blown diffuser produced lots of rear grip. Webber was
9842_254	hindered by intermittent KERS failures that Red Bull rectified and he was frustrated with the
9842_255	quickly degrading Pirelli tyres losing their performance when a driver was in the aerodynamic
9842_256	turbulence of another car. He made slower starts due to the car's ballast distribution compromised
9842_257	by the KERS' additional weight exacerbated by him weighing more than Vettel.
9842_258	Dietrich Mateschitz, Red Bull's owner, directed the team to allow both Webber and Vettel to race
9842_259	each other. Webber came no lower than fifth in the first four races, finishing third and second in
9842_260	China and Turkey. He finished the fourth from pole position. Webber took consecutive pole
9842_261	positions at the British and German Grands Prix and seven podiums from eleven top-tens in the next
9842_262	13 events. He won the season-ending to take third overall from Alonso with a career-high 258
9842_263	points. Webber initially struggled with the new Pirelli tyres, producing a greater amount of
9842_264	lateral load than his teammate Vettel and was more aggressive accelerating. His qualifying and race
9842_265	performances improved once he became better acquainted with the tyres. Webber made fewer pit stops
9842_266	by coping strategies used by other drivers after previously stopping more often from racing
9842_267	competitively.
9842_268	Webber signed to remained at Red Bull for the season on the day of the . Webber's decision to
9842_269	re-sign was made more difficult in mid-2011 because of his poor qualifying performance on Pirelli
9842_270	tyres but noted the potential of Newey's car designs. The RB8 car was not as dominant as its two
9842_271	predecessors; Webber finished fourth in the first four races, hampered by minor mechanical problems
9842_272	and faulty KERS. He became frustrated with F1 racing after a poor performance at the but he won
9842_273	the from pole position and the three races later after passing Alonso with eight laps left to go
9842_274	second overall behind Alonso. Webber took two more podium finishes in Korea and India during the
9842_275	season's final 11 races, finishing 2012 sixth overall tallying 179 points.
9842_276	Webber remained at Red Bull for the championship: he wanted to honour an earlier promise he had
9842_277	made to Horner and Mateschitz to stay at the team until his F1 career was over. He rejected an
9842_278	offer from Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali to partner Alonso and replace Felipe Massa for
9842_279	a year with a second optional, feeling switching teams would be inappropriate. He briefly lightened
9842_280	his training over the pre-season period when a titanium rod in his right leg was removed in
9842_281	December 2012. After restarting training that month, Webber decided to retire from F1 after 2013
9842_282	because he wanted to spend more time with his family, demotivation with F1 since drivers could not
9842_283	criticise Pirelli's tyres for fear of possibly upsetting others and the politics when large sums of
9842_284	money were involved. Webber was assigned Simon Rennie as his race engineer when his previous
9842_285	engineer, Ciaron Pilbeam, became the Lotus team's chief race engineer.
9842_286	His RB9 car initially struggled possibly due to its aerodynamic profile on the new softer Pirelli
9842_287	compounds but performed better when the 2012 compounds were re-introduced mid-season. At the , the
9842_288	season's second round, Webber was overtaken by Vettel in the closing laps to win the race after
9842_289	Vettel ignored the team order "Multi-Map 21", which instructed him to finish behind Webber. Tension
9842_290	between both drivers rose as a result and a remark by Webber about Vettel making an independent
9842_291	decision to disobey team orders meant Vettel lost Webber's respect as a person. After that, Webber
9842_292	was aware that the rest of the season would be onerous and tension between him and Vettel would
9842_293	stress Red Bull. He took eight podium finishes, finishing second four more times at the , the , the
9842_294	from pole position and the season-ending . Webber won no races in 2013 and he concluded his final
9842_295	F1 season in third overall with 199 points.
9842_296	World Endurance Championship stint with Porsche (2014–2016)
9842_297	Webber joined Porsche's sports car team upon its return to motor racingr in mid-2013. He moved to
9842_298	sports car racing to get away from the attention associated with F1 and to enjoy the longer
9842_299	intervals between races. Webber shared the No. 20 closed-cockpit Porsche 919 Hybrid sports
9842_300	prototype car with German Timo Bernhard and New Zealander Brendon Hartley in the FIA World
9842_301	Endurance Championship (WEC)'s fully-professional Le Mans Prototype 1-Hybrid (LMP1-H) category.
9842_302	Although sports car racing was less physically demanding for Webber, he needed consistently high
9842_303	concentration to cope with the difference in speed between each of the WEC's four classes, driving
9842_304	at night, re-adjusting to lapping slower vehicles while losing the least amount of time and coping
9842_305	with changeable conditions during a long race. Webber was advised on modern sports car racing by
9842_306	Bernhard and in turn acquainted Bernhard and Hartley with the circuits he drove in F1. He was
9842_307	mindful on developing the car for his co-drivers and not for himself but directed Porsche to
9842_308	concentrate on research and development projects that optimised performance in the shortest
9842_309	possible time. Webber also helped the team reduce the amount of pit stop time.
