Mark Webber and his Red Bull team will sit down to discuss extending his current contract later in the season, according to team principal Christian Horner.
The Australian has been the subject of much speculation linking him to a seat at Ferrari alongside Fernando Alonso in 2013, but Horner has denied such talks are taking place with the Italian squad.
“Every spring seems to be a reciprocal thing that Mark is going to Ferrari,” Autosport quote him as saying. “He is not wearing red overalls.
“Mark enjoys being within the team, he is happy here and we are happy with him. At the relevant time later in the year we will sit down and talk about the future as we have done in previous seasons.
“It’s something we will talk about later in the year,” he added. “I’m not aware of any discussion. I think Mark is happy where he is, he is in a strong position here, but inevitably it’s part of this business that there is speculation.”
The 35-year-old’s current contract expires at the end of the season after he agreed a one-year extension in 2011.
