Webber to go it alone

Briatore was banned from international motorsport earlier this week by the FIA for his part in the 'crashgate' scandal, while Formula One's governing body also confirmed they would not renew the superlicence of any driver he still managed.
"I had Flavio looking after me for 11 years and I never looked at the contract since I signed on the first day, and there is not many people in the paddock you can do that with," said the Red Bull driver. "He has been sensational for me and I won't work with anyone else in the future if I can't work with him."
He added: "He was a very good character for our sport but it doesn't seem like he will be around in the sport for a long while."
However, while Webber will miss the presence of Briatore, he is disappointed that Formula One has once again found itself in a bad light.
"We all love the sport and all strive very hard to get here and it is a dream for all of us to get here. It is something we aspire to," said Webber.
"It is a shame that we are not reporting on activities we should be reporting about and it has been like that for a few years now.
"I am certainly running out of patience with sticking up for the sport and I am sure other people are as well."
