It won races for me, and it looked after me when I needed it." "But the car did a great job for me in two cases. "They'll probably give me something else (now)," he added. He revealed that after he won at Monaco, the team promised him he could keep the RB6. "I don't get attached to cars, but clearly that one was unique," said Webber. The crashed car, currently featuring scrawled messages including 'RIP' courtesy of the mechanics, is now being repaired and will be used as the spare monocoque in Britain. After a tour of the team's Milton Keynes factory on Wednesday, the news agency PA said Webber will now race Vettel's earlier chassis. Meanwhile, the car driven to Webber's back-to-back wins at Barcelona and Monaco this season has been temporarily retired, after his backflip in the recent European Grand Prix. "There was nothing wrong with it," he said.
But Webber insists the chassis he will be driving is up to scratch. As a result Vettel stepped into the team's winter testing chassis and called it 'Randy Mandy'. The RB6 chassis was named 'Luscious Liz' by Vettel at the beginning of the season, before it sustained damage and the German underperformed while Webber dominated in Barcelona and Monaco.
Red Bull driver Mark Webber will be at the wheel of team-mate Sebastian Vettel's old chassis at this weekend's British Grand Prix.
