Webber stays at RBR for 2013

This is great to hear, as Massa is one of my favourite drivers out there! pin: (If not the favourite.:cheese
This removes a nail from the coffin, and I'm also pleased that Massa found form at the most recent event.

Sensible and logical deal. And this should also put an end to rumours of Hamilton leaving McLaren, because now he has nowhere to go - RBR might have been the only remote conceivable option.

As Webber wisely says - the continuation of his career (beyond 2013) depends on himself and his performances. At the moment he is still performing very well and hence is valuable to the team.

I think so far in 2012 Webber has actually been performing even better than 2010, because back then he was making some costly mistakes every now and then (Australia, Valencia, Korea). So far in 2012 no significant mistakes. Also his starts seem to have improved compared to last couple of seasons.

Hamilton would only got to RBR if Vettel left. But even then it would be a tricky choice as RBR seems as variable as McLaren these days.

What makes you say that? I don't think Hamilton would care who his teammate was. Horner might care about having two drivers of that quality in his team though

Thought Hamilton was interested in going to Renault ,next year

Why

Do you like trainspotting, bland food and women that have won against anorexia? Massa is a nice kid but what in the world can you hang your hat against apart from that?

Mark Webber was so significantly dominated by Vettel in 2011 that I thought that if this performance gap continued, Webber might lose his seat in 2013. However, I was wrong. His consistency is as good as always, and with two GP wins he is suddenly a championship contender. RBR is my favorite team right now.

[F1boat]

Wise decision for both parties.

Good news.

I feared for Mark after last year but he has fought back strongly and is showing the form he produced in 2010. He's in title contention for the second time in three years and that level of performance warrants a new contract.

Not only that, but he's a no-nonsense, honest, hardworking, thoroughly good bloke.

And, what's more, who couldn't like his attitude?
