Amid speculation that Red Bull driver, Mark Webber, has signed a 5-year deal with Porsche for a Le Mans prototype project, he insists that he has ‘few years left in him’ at Formula 1.

Right after the Bahrain Grand Prix, the 36-year-old Australian flew to Austria to appear on a Red Bull-owned Servus TV show.“I’m still hungry, I still want to do well, I think I still have a few years left in me. As long as I’m fit, the performance is still there and the job is fun … that’s actually the most important thing, that it’s fun,” said Webber.

“How it’s going to go exactly, I don’t know,” he added. “I have never decided what I’m doing for the next year in April, and I’m not going to start now.”

Rumors continue to circulate about the possibility of Kimi Raikonnen replacing the Australian. Dr Helmut Marko of Red Bull admitted, “We have always admitted that we are looking at him. And, for the umpteenth time, Red Bull traditionally looks at its driver issues only in the summer.”
