Red Bull Racing team announces that Mark Webber's contract has been extended for another year.
Sebastian Vettel already contracted to the team, this confirms the Red Bull's 2013 driver line-up.
This also ends up the speculations about a Ferrari move for Mark Webber or a possible arrival of Lewis Hamilton.
Australien driver Mark Webber said: "I’ve been with Red Bull Racing since 2007 and have achieved nine grand prix wins during that time. I’m high on confidence at the moment and firing on all cylinders. I know the Team well and I’m very comfortable here; we have grown together over the years and it feels like absolutely the right thing to stay with Red Bull for another season. It’s great to be able to make this announcement off the back of the win in Silverstone at the weekend and I’m looking forward to competing on the edge and pushing myself in every race again next season."
Team principal Christian Horner added: "Mark has driven very well in the first nine races of this season and his performance has been impressive. Much of his Formula One success has been during his time with Red Bull Racing and together we have achieved 10 poles, nine wins and 31 podiums. As there was a strong desire from both sides to continue the partnership, it was a logical decision to extend our relationship and it is with great pleasure that we confirm Mark will drive for us in 2013."
