By Jonathan Noble Thursday, July 16th 2009, 09:36 GMT
WebberMark Webber is set to be handed a fresh deal to stay with Red Bull Racing in 2010, with his team confirming that it plans to open contract talks with the Australian imminently.
With huge interest surrounding Webber following his maiden victory in the German Grand Prix, and on the back of an impressive first half to the campaign, Red Bull has set its sights on retaining him at least one more year.
Team principal Christian Horner said that talks would open soon with Webber, with the hope being that a deal can be put together to keep him alongside Sebastian Vettel in 2010.
"Mark is doing a great job and he is a great team player," Horner told AUTOSPORT. "We have got a very good balance in the team and we will get around to talking to him about his contract shortly, but he is a very valued member of the team."
Although Webber is the man of the moment, and could yet end the season as world champion, his contract talks are unlikely to be totally straightforward.
Red Bull is under intense pressure to reduce its costs, having already made technical director Geoff Willis redundant, and it may need to put a squeeze on the amount it could pay Webber in 2010.
Furthermore, while Webber would prefer a lengthy deal that could keep him tied to Red Bull until the end of his career, the team is believed to favour a shorter contract.
But with the partnership yielding great results at the moment, and all eyes on beating Brawn GP to the championship, both sides may be willing to compromise in order to secure a deal.

WEBBER TO DRIVE FOR RED BULL RACING IN 2010
Red Bull Racing has confirmed today that Mark Webber will continue to drive for the team in 2010, alongside his team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
Christian Horner: “I’m delighted that we have re-signed Mark for 2010. He continued to show huge commitment and determination this season, especially following his bike accident at the end of last year. His recent results show he is on the form of his life – most notably with his recent win at the German GP – and he has the motivation to deliver at the highest level. It was therefore a straightforward decision to extend the relationship. We believe that the driver line-up of Mark and Sebastian is one of the strongest in the sport.
Mark Webber: “I’m extremely happy that Red Bull and I have been able to agree to race together again next year. Even in the leaner and tougher years at the start of my relationship with the team, I’ve always enjoyed working with them, so now to go through this purple patch, which we hope will continue for a good while to come, makes the work even more enjoyable. We’ve got a very exciting finish to this year’s Championship, but I’m also looking forward to helping to develop and race the RB6 in the 2010 World Championship.” |
