RED BULL RACING CONFIRM MARK WEBBER FOR 2013
By Ian Lockwood
July 10 2012
Mark Webber’s contract has been extended for another year, meaning the Australian, who won the British Grand Prix on Sunday for a second time, will continue to drive for the Team in 2013
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. The Team is constantly working hard to improve in all areas and we’ve shown that together we can win races. 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.”
Christian Horner said: “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.”
As Sebastian Vettel is already contracted to Red Bull Racing, this confirms the Team’s 2013 driver line-up.

Good on him.
There are a few people around various forums who claim to have close ties with him and his inner sanctum that will be wiping some egg off their faces right about now.

Lol, indeed.
Does seem like he had talks with Ferrari though, which is interesting.

Congrats to Mark. I don't blame the team, he's looking like he has a good shot at carryng the No1 next year and is matching and beating golden balls at the moment.

Makes total sense with the NEW RedBull Total Zero appealing to an older crowd.

yep cause old people have money during GFC,
young punks cant pick up easy jobs to waste on drinks anymore, so they save and waste it on alchohol instead.
Unless redbull brought out a genuine 100 percent owned beverage ??
now theres a thought..
