Webber confirmed to quit Formula 1?

[Tom]

Overnight Radio Le Mans announced that Mark Webber had put pen to paper making the deal official, meaning he would join Porsche in their assault on the World Endurance Championship.

Webber is expected to quit F1 at the end of the season, when his contract with Red Bull expires.

Rumours of a move to Porsche have been simmering for some time, and the car giant last week did not deny an interest in hiring Webber for their new Le Mans sportscar program.

I hope Webber has a fun time racing with Porsche. F1 has become a major joke since Schumi left the first time.

Now, this is odd.

MARK WEBBER'S name has been linked with Porsche’s LMP sportscar program next year following another disappointing weekend for the Australian at the Chinese Grand Prix, but Porsche has refuted the rumour that it has signed a five-year contract with the driver.

Can't say for sure, but I know one thing - Mark won't be driving at Red Bull F1 Team next year. Maybe Porsche, maybe a different F1 Team, but definitely not Red Bull F1 Team.

His replacement for next year!

Perfect partner for Vettel!

Oh yeah !

I was thinking more likely Simona De Silvestro.

I was thinking more likely Simona De Silvestro.

Hope she is good and not have the issues that followed Danika Patrick.

Horner: "Ok Seb, new team orders, no fraternizing with your team mate now".

 

[Sérgio Marques]

If some day we have a woman on F1 would be interesting to see how her Team-mate would deal with the situation, mainly if she could beat him.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

With such a teammate Seb needs to be really careful with that finger. (I didn't say that, cheap joke)

On-topic. Webber has plenty of sportscar experience from his pre-F1 era. Not sure if he is still going to enjoy Le Mans after his horrific crash with the Mercedes in 99

 

[ENDR]

He's done that in F1 as well, but it didn't stop him

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Yup He seems to have a nack(?) for making cars fly
China he wheelied as well.

 

[ENDR]

Aaand of course

 

[driveroz247]

Aaand of course

Not bad for a no.2 driver!

Mark was practicing his new way of celebrating a race win. He'll do it again after he wins his next race in F1. The Red Bull mechanics will need to make sure that he just has the right amount of downforce on his car.

Mark is also hinting that the next step in his career may take him into Moto GP.

I hope not, I like seeing webber give vettel a hard time....
