Webber leaving Red Bull

[shivas irons]

Mark Webber announced today that he's leaving Red Bull to join the Porsche endurance team.Begs the question is Webber leaving because of he's dust ups with spoilt brat Vettel the guy who thinks he's above team orders.Theres talk that Kimi might replace Webber and if thats the case Kimi wont take any of Vettel's crap mates or not but I think if Vettel has any say in a new team mate it will be somebody who wont be a threat to him at Red Bull maybe one of the Torro Rosso guys? Vettel has expressed an interest in joining Ferrari and apparently has only signed a years extension at RB so then RB must surely be looking at a top driver to replace him.Be interesting to see who RB go with hopefully Kimi cos it will be fireworks watching two such competitive from the same team battle it out.

Interesting comment from Jenson in the press conference earlier, when asked what Webbers retirement meant to him, he replied 'it means theres a seat free at Red Bull'. Read into that what you will...

That would be interesting but I have a feeling that RB are going to want an up and coming younger driver as Vettel was with Torro Rosso, maybe Vergne over Ricciardo?

The biggest problem for any incoming driver is the Helmut that is Dr Marko...

I would like to see that but is it a like for like swap? Two talented drivers indeed but would it be better for a young driver to step up and become the new Seb?

Vettel's 1 year extension takes his contract up till the end of 2015 so he won't be leaving for Ferrari any time soon, especially as Alonso has a veto at Ferrari and has no intention of sharing a garage with Vettel at Ferrari.

Alonso's current Ferrari deal runs until the end of the 2016 season.

Personally I think Vettel was right to go past Webber,he's world champion & you don't become world champion with out been ruthless. Maybe Webber should av put his foot down instead of crying like a little girl.

Senna would have passed him all day long.

Win first, ask questions later...
