Mark Webber’s last two races have been pretty eventful, and in neither of them has he finished up happy.

Last time out, he had a huge spat with team mate Sebastian Vettel, but this time his ire will be directed towards the staff in the pit who hadn’t tightened his wheel fully, which caused it to fall off as he left the pit.

Add to this the fact that he ran out of petrol in the qualifiers, he must be left wondering why things have been going wheely (sorry) badly for him recently.
