Red Bull Racing is pleased to announce that Mark Webber’s contract has been extended, meaning theAustralian will continue to drive for the team in 2011. As Sebastian Vettel is already contracted to theteam for next year, this announcement confirms Red Bull Racing’s 2011 driver line-up.

Mark Webber: “It was an easy decision to remain with Red Bull Racing. We began talking very early thisyear and were in a position to sign by the Barcelona Grand Prix. The decision to extend for a further yearwas a mutual one; it’s widely know that I’m not interested in hanging around in Formula One just for thesake of it and at this stage of my career, I’m happy to take one year at a time. I continue to feel verycomfortable here – I have a fantastic relationship with the whole team and the factory at Milton Keynesfeels like home. It’s been incredible to be part of the team as it’s moved forward from a mid-fieldcompetitor to one that is challenging for the Championship. I hope we experience more success togetherin the future and achieve our ultimate goal of winning the World Championship.”

He is an important member ofour team and is currently in the best form of his career, as the current leader of the Drivers’Championship.
