Webber's 'the man' - Purnell

After Michael Schumacher, Mark Webber is Formula One's most deserving world champion, his Jaguar boss Tony Purnell said. 27-year-old Webber is now free, as long as he wears plain white overalls, to start testing for new team BMW-Williams in preparation for 2005.

Purnell said the Australian driver is the 'best' any team could possibly have. "He has got the mind of a champion," said Ford's Premier Performance Division boss. He added: "I wish him well at Williams and I have a feeling that one day Mark is going to be the man."
