Mark Webber insists his future at Red Bull relies solely on his performances this season, which up until now have been relatively positive according to the Australian.
Webber’s current contract with the energy drinks team expires at the end of the current year, and whilst rumours have suggested he may be off to Ferrari, the 35-year-old has rubbished such suggestions and expects to continue as is.
“[The results] have been very inconsistent this year. Up to the Monaco Grand Prix I hadn’t even been on the podium, then I won,” Webber told Autosprint. “As far as I’m concerned, I’m driving very well, and I see no difference with last year’s situation.
“At the moment I don’t have a contract for next year, just like at this time last year and just like the year before that,” he added. “My agreements are only valid from one season to the next one, and at each expiry we have never really gone on the market, in the sense that in the end we have always renewed with Red Bull.
“Let’s see how it ends up, but it can be the same again this year. That’s what I mean, we don’t need to go on the market because results speak for themselves.”
Webber added that no contact has yet taken place between himself and Ferrari, despite the speculation.
“I have no offers from Ferrari. I know people were talking a lot about that, at least until Felipe had a good weekend in Monte Carlo.
“But if it was all true, then Ferrari would need to field eight cars next year! That’s not possible, as there are just two cars.”
