With the 2014 champions and Japanese race winners, Toyota, failing to win a race so far this year, Webber and his teammates, Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley, will see a real chance to close in on the driver’s title and take a hat-trick of wins in the championship.

Webber’s father, Alan, said that his son’s form of late was a great opportunity for more success.

“They’ve won two on the trot now, so a third one would be lovely. Three in a row, that’s what we’re hoping for,” he said.

“The car’s fantastic and Mark’s driving well. As are his teammates.

“They’re great friends are Timo and Brendon... They get along like a house on fire.”

Alan attended the last race in Austin, Texas, the second of Webber’s recent consecutive wins.

“His first stint there was very, very strong. It was very pleasing the way he drove,” he said.

“He was very happy with the way it turned out.”

The 2015 season has already seen Webber driving at his best.

In addition to his wins in Austin and at the Nürburgring, Webber’s Porsche has also claimed podiums at Spa and Le Mans earlier in the year.

Webber’s run of recent good results currently has him placed second in the Driver’s Championship, along with teammates Bernhard and Hartley, 10 points behind the Audi-driving leaders Andre Lotterer, Marcel Fässler and Benoît Tréluyer.

Alan said the team was still wary of a title challenge from the other car, as well as championship leaders Audi.

“There’s still strong opposition from the other car, and Audi of course,” he said.

“This year, with the benefit of some new rules it’s sort of fallen into Porsche’s lap a little bit, but only through very hard work and clever engineering.

“Winning a championship is always nice, so let’s hope he can bring home the bacon.”

However, Porsche currently hold the advantage over Audi in the Manufacturer’s standings, 36 points clear with three races remaining.

Webber’s Porsche was strong at the Fuji circuit in 2014 when it finished third, despite picking up a puncture in the early laps.
