Webber makes Williams jibe

12 April 2012

Mark Webber claims Williams are now nothing more than Toyota's B team.

Webber joined Red Bull Racing after two unhappy years with Williams, who have impressed in recent tests in Barcelona and Jerez now they have Toyota engines on board.

But speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Webber said: "Of course Williams is a Toyota B team. There will be denials but there is a feeling and a perception that a B team is actually how it is now."

He added: "I'm sure they will be working hard to beat Toyota - but Toyota in Japan will obviously prefer any success to come to the factory team.

"So it looks tough for them, it really does. They might have new engines but not a lot has changed in the structure.

"There's no real reason why the results should be any different for them this year.

"I thought I would go to Williams and then finish my career at Williams.

"But it was a tough gig for the credibility of a lot of people. That's what happens when there's such a huge drop in form."
