F1 News - Red Bull wants Webber for 2011, Vettel for future - June, 2010

Jun.4 (GMM) With their Turkish crash still loud in the news, attention is now turning to the new contracts on the table for Red Bull teammates Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel.

It is believed the Austrian-owned team is imminently set to extend Australian Webber's deal for 2011, amid reports Red Bull wants to secure Vettel's services for a much longer period.

With the young German already under contract to the end of next year, rumours suggest Red Bull also wants to tie him down through 2015.

Team boss Christian Horner is quoted by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport: "Mark is happy with one-year contracts. At his age he doesn't want to commit himself for too long."

The magazine's latest edition also reveals that Webber recently confided in his former Williams bosses that he was prepared to retire at the end of 2010 if he had not secured a contract extension.

The likely one-year deal ties in with rumours that Red Bull is eyeing a future seat for Sebastien Buemi, the Swiss youngster who currently drives for the junior team Toro Rosso.
