Ecclestone tips 'hungry' Webber for 2010 title

Bernie Ecclestone has tipped Mark Webber to hold on to his championship lead until November's chequered flag in Abu Dhabi.

"I am a big fan of Sebastian Vettel," the F1 chief executive is quoted by Express newspaper in Singapore, "but Mark has done brilliantly well and at his age he is so hungry for it."

Australian Webber, 34, holds a five-point lead over four other title contenders all within a points margin of a single race victory.
