Red Bull confirm Webber for 2010

Red Bull Racing announced on Thursday that Mark Webber will continue to drive alongside Sebastian Vettel for the 2010 season. The Australian joined the Milton Keynes team in 2007 before clinching his first and so far only race win less than a fortnight ago at the Nürburgring.

2010 will be Webber's ninth straight season in Formula One

Speaking of the renewal of his contract Webber said: "I'm extremely happy that Red Bull and I have been able to agree to race together again next year. Even in the leaner and tougher years, at the start of my relationship with the team, I've always enjoyed working with them; so now to go through this purple patch, which we hope will continue for a good while to come, makes the work even more enjoyable.

"We've got a very exciting finish to this year's championship but I'm also looking forward to helping to develop and race the RB6 in the 2010 World Championship."

Christian Horner is also pleased to have re-signed Webber for what will be his fourth term with the Austrian outfit. "I'm delighted that we have re-signed Mark for 2010," said the team principal. "He has continued to show huge commitment and determination this season, especially following his bike accident at the end of last year.

"His recent results show he is on the form of his life - most notably with his recent win at the German GP - and he has the motivation to deliver at the highest level. It was therefore a straightforward decision to extend the relationship; we believe that the driver line-up of Mark and Sebastian is one of the strongest in the sport."
