韋伯說，中國大獎賽排位賽中，他和紅牛車隊決定在排位賽的最後一次計時圈中使用軟胎的決定，真的很「酷」。

韋伯最後一次使用硬胎做了成績就回到了維修站，引來了質疑的聲音：為什麼紅牛車隊沒有選擇軟胎來幫助他脫離困境呢。

韋伯在最後一次練習賽中就遇到了故障，沒法很好地做出測試，接著在排位賽中又無法使用KERS系統。

這位紅牛車手承認，使用硬胎的決定其實不壞，他們只是時間不夠，沒法做出一次好的圈速。

當被問及誰決定最後使用硬胎做成績的時候，韋伯說，「車隊，還有助手們。」

「我起初對此相當冷靜，但是顯然，最後我們知道我們沒法再跑兩次計時圈的時候，我們都開始感到恐慌了。硬胎其實夠用了，但是只跑一圈是不夠的。我們真的自己騙了自己。」

「你在排位賽中付出了很大的代價，我不知道紅牛最後一次在排位賽第一節出局是什麼時候，很久以前的事情了吧。我確定，這是我們自從2009年以來的第一次，最近這一年我們都沒有過。」

記者問起哪裡出了錯，他說，「第三次練習賽只跑了一圈，沒有給我帶來幫助。排位賽前幾分鐘，我們才往回趕，把賽車準備好。我的第一次試跑大概比應該跑到的成績慢了半秒的樣子。」

「很明顯，KERS也是最重要的問題。我們想像的計劃是，決定使用硬胎再跑上幾圈，但是我們出去以後跑得不夠快，所以我們只餘下了一個計時圈的時間，造成我們的輪胎沒有達到溫度。所以這第二次試跑有點更難以將事情辦妥了。」

澳大利亞車手強調，排位賽之後再來對紅牛車隊的決定指指點點當然很容易。

「任何頂級車隊在排位賽第一節出局的時候，我們都能充當事後諸葛亮，談論我們應該這樣做或者應該那樣做。總之，當然，軟胎會使得情況更輕鬆，顯然我們完全可以做出這個決定。但是我們車隊沒有。」

「我們都以為我們使用硬胎可以多跑幾圈，足夠跑上兩個計時圈，但是顯然我們出去得有點晚了，然後大家就認為我們選擇了錯誤的輪胎，其實原因在於——時機。」

韋伯同時表示，車隊仍然對於KER難以正常工作的問題困惑不已。

「不知道啊。如果你能告訴我們，我們就聘用你了。」他說。


Mark Webber says he was "cool" with Red Bull's decision not to use the 'option' tyres during his final run in qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.

The Australian endured a disappointing day after being knocked out in the first qualifying segment for the first time since the 2009 season.

Webber was running with the harder tyres in his final stint, a decision which prompted questions about why Red Bull had not chosen the soft ones to help his cause.

Webber had been hit by problems in final practice, where he didn't get any significant running, and then was unable to use KERS during qualifying.

The Red Bull driver admitted the decision to use 'primes' was okay with him, but he simply ran out of time to get a good lap in.

"The team's, mate," said Webber when asked who had made the decision to use the harder tyres for the final run.

"I was pretty cool with it, but obviously we all started to panic a bit at the end when we knew we weren't going to get two laps. The tyre should have been enough, but on one lap it wasn't enough. And that was where we snookered ourselves really.

"You pay a big price in qualifying. I don't know the last time a Red Bull guy was out in Q1, but it has been a long time. That was our first time since 2009, for sure - as we didn't do it last year."

When asked what had gone wrong, he added: "One lap in P3. That doesn't help. We were a little bit on the back foot and just got the car together minutes before qualifying. We threw it together and went out – my first run was probably half a second shy of where it needed to be.

"Obviously KERS as well on top of that. We were on the bubble and then decided to go for another run on the prime to have a few laps at it, but we never got out quick enough so we only had one timed lap and added to that we had tyres that were not up to temperature. So that second set was a bit more difficult to get the job done."

The Australian insisted it was easy to judge Red Bull's decision after qualifying.

"When any top team goes out in Q1 we can all put the hindsight goggles on and say we should have done this or should have done that. In the end, for sure, option would have made life easier – and it is completely obvious that we could have made that decision. But we didn't as a team.

"And we all thought we would get enough laps on the prime to get the two timed laps in, but obviously we were a bit late going out and then it turned out we were on the wrong tyre as well – because of the timing."

Webber also said the team was still puzzled about its problems to get KERS working properly.

"Don't know. If you can tell us, you could have a job," he said.
