Summary Mark Webber was stopped in his tracks again, but this time by a koala.

 

BERLIN, March 29, 2013 (AFP) - Days after his bid for victory in Malaysia was thwarted by gung-ho team-mate Sebastian Vettel, Mark Webber has found himself halted again, but this time by a koala.

 

"Stopped in my tracks. He s on a mission the little fella," Webber posted on his official twitter feed, alongside a photo he took himself of the marsupial crossing the road in front of him.

 

The message provoked some ironic responses from Webber s fans - still smarting after last Sunday s incident at the Malaysian Grand Prix when Vettel blatantly defied team orders and overtook his teammate to snatch a controversial win.

 

"Good man, Vettel would have hit the other pedal (by mistake of course)," wrote one Webber supporter. Another commented: "At least he didn t pass you"

 

Webber has returned to his native Australia to cool off after the Sepang storm with Vettel ahead of next month s Chinese Grand Prix.
