Mateschitz continues to count on Webber


Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz spoke about the conflict at RBR - and ended any discrepancies in the World Championship team. A contract extension with Mark Webber would be beyond doubt.

That Mark Webber got himself out of the "race" to a contract extension with Red Bull Racing because of ignoring team orders at Silverstone, Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz discounts with a smile. And contradicts once again premature media reports. The SN, he said: "The agreement to hold positions in the finish, was discussed between the team and drivers before the race. Mark approached Sebastian Vettel in the finish, because he saw that he can't get Fernando Alonso and cut back. I understand Webber that he wanted to get infront. He would be a bad rider, if he would not try. "

What will happen before the summer break? The Australian has already been to Salzburg and is probably again at the hangar-7 after the Hungarian Grand Prix (July 31) - and probably not only to drink one can of Red Bull. One could speculate: Afternoon signing the new contract, then announcement in the evening on "Sports Talk" on Servus TV.

About the situation said Mateschitz: "The contract extension with Mark is still beyond doubt. He feels comfortable with us, in the team he is very popular. He can not get a better car, and we can't get a better driver on the market". And rumors about Lewis Hamilton, the Red Bull boss just said: "It's usual at this time. Hamilton came in Montreal to us, not vice versa."
