Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber believes that the later start time of the Malaysian Grand Prix is not to blame for the race's early abandonment. The driver, member of the GPDA, supported the decision to stop the Grand Prix early as the visibility was zero.

Webber said: "I'm not so sure you can blame the time of day for today's conditions, as the weather was bad at 3pm too. It seems it was just one of those days. It's been the mistiest and coolest day I've ever seen in Malaysia for race day."

"The guys made the best call to stop the race when they did. It would have been nice to have had some more laps to give us a crack at getting on the podium, but that's how it is, so I've got mixed emotions. It's dark now, so it was the right call not to make a restart."
