From the highs of his maiden win at the Nurburgring to the lows of the infamous "Multi 21" saga, Mark Webber was never far from the spotlight during his 217 race Formula One career.
After his recent decision to retire from racing, ESPN looks back at his five most memorable moments from what was a stunning career.
5. The Monte Carlo double - 2012 Monaco Grand Prix
Only 15 drivers in history have won multiple Monaco grands prix and Webber will forever be ensconced in that elite category.
The Australian steered his Red Bull to victory at the notoriously difficult street circuit in 2010 and again in 2012, on both occasions starting from pole position and comfortably controlling the pace.
While the achievement will live long in Webber's memory, for Formula One fans it was his post-race celebrations which will be forever remembered. After winning in both years, Webber performed a somersault into the pool sitting atop Red Bull's floating paddock home.
4. Multi 21 - 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix
When thinking of Formula One's great teammate rivalries, Webber vs. Sebastian Vettel may not spring to mind as quickly as Alain Prost vs. Ayrton Senna, but the pair certainly will be remembered for a number of notable stoushes -- none more so than the controversial Multi 21.
After clear instruction from Red Bull to hold station during the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix, Vettel -- running in second at the time -- began attacking Webber before the pair duelled wheel-to-wheel around the Sepang circuit.
Vettel ended up taking the victory with an incensed Webber finishing second. The hostility in the cool down room post-race was of epic proportions as Webber angrily exclaimed "Multi 21, Seb. Multi 21," or car number two ahead of car number one.
3. A dream debut - 2002 Australian Grand Prix
It was a dream start to Formula One racing for local hero Webber who avoided carnage and reliability issues in what was a chaotic 2002 Australian Grand Prix.
The race saw two disqualifications and 12 retirements which propelled Webber into fifth place by the chequered flag for a remarkable points finish on debut. Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher -- who won the race -- insisted on shaking Webber's hand, highlighting the magnitude of his achievement.
Funnily enough, in his 11 races at Albert Park that followed, Webber only managed to better that result once; a fourth place finish in 2012.
2. "Not bad for a No. 2 driver" - 2010 British Grand Prix
The intentions become clear at Silverstone in 2010 that the then 23-year-old Vettel would be Red Bull's lead driver. After crashing and damaging his new front wing in practice, Vettel was given Webber's for qualifying and the race -- much to the disapproval of the Australian.
"Honestly I would never have signed a contract for next year if I believed that was the way I thought it would be going forward," Webber said.
However, despite the advantage, Webber stormed to a fifth win of his career before delivering one of the most famous lines in motorsport history. While waving to the crowd on his parade lap, Webber exclaimed over the radio, "Not bad for a number 2 driver" -- and just like that the rivalry was born.
1. First win - 2009 German Grand Prix
Who can ever forget that iconic podium jump? Webber's maiden Formula One win in Germany was as much about relief as it was pure jubilation -- having competed in 131 races prior for no victory.
Starting from pole position, Webber was involved in a tangle with Rubens Barrichello as the pair jostled for the lead into the first corner which resulted in a drive-through penalty for the Red Bull driver, dropping him to eighth.
However, some stunning passes and clever strategy saw him recover brilliantly to win and join Sir Jack Brabham and Alan Jones as Australia's only grand prix winners at the time.
