Webber stays at RBR for 2013

[The Black Knight]

I received a text there which has informed me that Mark Weber has signed with RBR for 2013.

And now autosport confirm it: Webber will stay with Red Bull Racing for the 2013 Formula 1 season - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

If so I´m glad, Mark is one of the best drivers on the grid.

its a good decision
a bit early suggesting that RBR were keen on locking him up and possibly thwarting Ferrari's advances.

The first domino has fallen in the silly (pre)season.

I've always had that issue I can never remember if it is one or two b's in his name

Good decision.

Hes a great guy and fine driver and he is actually having a great season. 2 wins and championship contender.

Good news for RBR, I think he just had an off season last year. A bit like lewis last year, and bunson this year. I think everyone has this sometimes, even the shoe!

He alluded to it during an interview with the top 3 drivers at the Blondie gig but glad it's confirmed.

Sealed a nail in Massa`s Ferrari career as well by letting on he was in talks with Ferrari, which we all knew, but it shows Ferrari are seriously looking for alternatives, which will do nothing for his confidence just when he seems to be getting it together and getting some results.

Massa should throw him a party. The chances of him staying at Ferrari for one more year are now greatly increased.

I believe Webber wanted at least a two year contract, either with Ferrari or RBR, but none would offer that to him. Ferrari just wanted him for one year to have options open regarding Vettel for 2014, and considering that the same was on offer from RBR, he chose to stay put. Wise move if you ask me. Not to mention that he actually likes living in England and has a nice house there with his family, so moving to Italy wasn't probably the easiest thing to do.

Anyway, he's a great guy, and really fast on his day. I agree that he had an off year last year, this year and 2010 are much more representative of what he is capable of. Also love the way he interacts with other drivers. You get the feeling that no one holds a grudge against him, which in such a competitive sport, is a rarity.
