Webber baffled by yet another failure

Mark Webber was left baffled by yet another mechanical failure on his Red Bull at the Brazilian Grand Prix while he was running comfortably in fifth place.

"It's pretty unbelievable as there was a full disconnect in drive between the engine and gearbox - another new problem by the looks of it so we'll have to look at it," said Webber. "It was going really well until then and we were keeping up a good pace and looking like getting some good points."

The retirement put an end to any hope Red Bull had of overtaking Williams in the constructors' championship. Webber will continue with Red Bull again in 2008.
