Webber master again

Mark Webber was crowned Formula One’s king of Monaco for a second time in three seasons as a planned protest against Red Bull after the race failed to materialise.

The suggestion beforehand was the team’s cars are running with an illegal floor, and that one of their big three rivals in McLaren, Ferrari or Mercedes would lodge a protest with the FIA.

When Mark Webber won the race by 0.643secs from Nico Rosberg in his Mercedes, the feeling was that had increased the possibility of one of the teams taking a stand.
