Mark Webber is being linked to Ferrari for the 2011 Championship after Renault made it clear that they are determined to hold onto the Italian team's first choice, Robert Kubica.
There is nothing quite like Formula One's silly season rumours as less than two months ago there was speculation that Webber was on his way out, set to retire from the sport at the end of this year's Championship.
A few weeks later, the mill claimed that Felipe Massa, who is out of contract at the end of 2010, was only a signature away from extending his stay at Ferrari.
Those reports, though, were followed by reports that Kubica would in fact replace Massa next season, having already signed an "option" to race for Ferrari.
Now the latest claim that Kubica won't be leaving Renault, who are determined to hold onto the Polish driver, Massa is not about to sign a new contract and his seat will in fact go to Red Bull racer Webber.
At least those are the rumours this weekend in Monaco.
Webber, though, has refused to comment on reports of his future.
"Certainly haven't come to any agreements yet but there's still a long way to go in terms of what to do for next year," he said when asked if he was on the verge of signing a new deal with Red Bull.
"We've worked very hard over the last few years, Red Bull and myself to get into this situation.
"I'm actually in no real rush to make any big decisions myself; also I think both of us are very happy with each other, a lot of trust with each other, so let's see how it goes, there's plenty of time."
