Mark Webber has been voted off the board of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA).
The Australian told reporters at Interlagos that the association believed it had more directors than needed, therefore it was a case of 'last in, first out'. The remaining directors are Michael Schumacher, David Coulthard and Jarno Trulli.
"They thought four was one too many, so they had a vote," said the WilliamsF1 driver. "I haven't lost any sleep over it."
There are many that feel the GPDA lacks teeth and doesn't really dare to speak out, though Webber has been fairly outspoken on a number of issues since becoming a director. However, following a couple of incidents this season there have been 'words' between Webber and both Coulthard and Schumacher.
