Just seen on Twitter. Rumour has it that Webber has signed a five year deal with Porsche.

Awesome news at least he's going to a series where the driver can "RACE" . Thank heavens Bernie has nothing to do with sports cars.

No wonder he was so calm today when Red Bull screwed his race ... or maybe, that's why Red Bull screwed his race.

There wouldn't be much activity on this forum if all we were allowed to post were official announcements, don't you think?

Nothing against speculation when it stays as speculation, but in this thread according to reactions of some people this seems to be already a 100% confirmed fact. Some media literacy skiils, please.

I want this to happen and definitely don't think this journo made it up, but so far it is just a rumor.

Do you seriously believe that Red Bull would deliberately ruin Mark's race? Lest we forget it is a team sport and Red Bull's aim is to win the constructors title as well as have their driver win the WDC. They can hardly do that if the sabotage one of their race cars!

Rumored = true
Journo repeated this rumor on Twitter with two new details (contract and length of it) = true

Rest is untrue until proven true [officially].

This isn't a new rumor--it's been floating around since the Malaysian GP after Mark got shafted by Seb and RBR.

Someone also said on another forum that the word in the WEC paddock was that the deal is for £2mil per season.

I'd await a formal announcement from either Webber or Porsche Motorsport, but consider this: if Mark is tired of the favoritism within RBR of Seb, where will he go, considering that he's in his mid to late 30s (though certainly still quick and competitive), where he won't be a #2 driver or have the same chances to win as RBR? No where, I believe, and the most obvious candidate, Ferrari, seem to want to keep Massa, and Felipe has Fernando backing him up on top of that.

So if Mark was to leave RBR, a tour back into the world of sportscars with a factory team is his best option to getting a hefty pay check and win some races.

It's even older than that, this Pitpass story (includes comments from the Webber himself) is from mid-Feb: http://www.pitpass.com/48383-Exclusi...-Porsche-links

So, do you mean that Dr Marko wasn't responsible for fuelling Marks car in Quali, and wasn't on the right rear wheel during the pit stops?

Marko used to get on quite well with the folk at Weissach so maybe he's helping Webber 'out'?
