Webber Keen to Finish His Career at RED BULL

Click to follow

Mark Webber wants to continue driving for Red Bull for the rest of his Formula One career, but has no intention of retiring yet.

The Australian is contracted with the team until the end of the 2011 season after signing an extension last year.

There has been speculation that Webber could bow out of the sport at the end of the campaign when his contract finishes.

But the 34-year-old, who finished third in last season's title race, is not ready to walk away yet and wants to stay at his current team.

"I would believe so," Webber told F1 Racing when asked if his career would end with Red Bull.

"I want to continue - any driver wants this - racing towards the front and hanging out with these punks... week in week out.

"To race with them is very rewarding and enjoyable. Of course you have nerves at the time. There's not a guy in the pit lane who doesn't have nerves. They'd be lying if they told you they didn't.

"It's what gets you out of bed. That's what a competitor goes through and that's what you enjoy."

Webber also insists he is happy within the team despite some simmering tensions between himself and team-mate Sebastian Vettel last year.

He added: "Obviously we've had a few headwinds here and there within the team, but to have two drivers do what we did last year is a unique situation and one of them might not - was not - supposed to have been in that situation."

"I hope I can continue to work hard for Red Bull. They know my reputation is that when I do things, I do them to the best of my ability at all times. And they know that I will do that again."
