Webber Apologized to Rosberg after Korea Crash

Mark Webber apologized for crashing into Mercedes' Nico Rosberg in the early stages of the Korean Grand Prix, as revealed by the latter driver the other day, in Interlagos. Back then, Webber lost control of his car when going past a kerb and failed to push the brakes afterwards, causing his Red Bull RB6 to bump into Rosberg's Merc and take both drivers out.

Initially, Rosberg told the media he though it was crazy that Webber did not brake when the car went over the kerb. His comments were later followed by some interesting suggestions from former F1 grand prix driver Gerhard Berger, who hinted that Webber did not brake because he wanted to take one of his title rivals out of the race, realizing that he was already out of the race.

Needless to say, the Australian driver denied such suggestions, as did his team manager Christian Horner. Additionally, talking to reporters in Interlagos this week, Rosberg revealed that Webber apologized for his mistake in Korea and what happened is now all water under the bridge.

“He made a mistake, he knew he could be losing the title in that moment, he thought about something else ... he came to me and apologized this afternoon. And I don't blame him; that's racing. End of story,” said Rosberg in an interview with French commentator Jean-Louis Moncet, as revealed by the latter in his Auto Plus blog.

Needless to say, the incident cost Webber the leading position in the overall classification, as the Australian has now dropped to 2nd place behind Ferrari-an Fernando Alonso, trailing the Spaniard by 11 points with 2 races to go.
