Australian Formula 1 driver Mark Webber has signed a new contract to stay at Red Bull Racing in 2009.

In a team media statement issued from Silverstone, Great Britain on Thursday, the 31-year-old Australian said deciding to stay with the Milton-Keynes based outfit for another year was "very easy".

Team boss Christian Horner added: "Earlier in the season both parties expressed a desire to continue working together and so it was a very quick and short discussion that led to an extension of our agreement."
