Stuttgart spokesman:
Quote:
"Mark Webber has not signed a contract with Porsche," Porsche's motorport spokesman told Sky Sports Online.

"In 2014 Porsche will return to Le Mans and the Sportscar World Championship WEC in the highest class LMP1. Our ten factory drivers are an excellent basis for our driver line-up. If we will add additional drivers will be decided later this year."
Webber:
Quote:
"Year-by-year [contract extensions], that's how it has always been for me, so come the summer I will talk to Dietrich [Mateschitz] and we'll go from there," Webber confirmed. "We're only at the third race and I have never, ever made decisions about my career at this point in a season and, although it's a topic at the moment, I don't see why I should make any decisions about the future."

Italian magazine Quattroruote reports the news for sure.
I think Mark has signed with Porsche, but I think the most intelligent thing is not confirm the news since now. Till Le Mans 2014 there's a bit of months to wait... and any team would like to unveil its plain so early! But when some voices circulate, is not for a case!

There seems to be a lot of smoke for there to be no fire.

I would guess there is some sort of intent in place but no signed contract so they can all deny it for a few more weeks till it suits all parties.

I think he might have signed a pre-contract with a stipulation that it breaks in the unlikely event that he becomes F1 champion this year. Far too early to officially announce. Denials are no surprise.

Keep the smoke coming. Let the mainstream media say those magic words - "WEC", "LMP1", "Le Mans", "sportscars"....

These sorts of articles bring as much publicity for the series as anything else the WEC can throw money at.

It's some blogger or twitterer creating an internet scare with a bogus story riding on the wave that the name "Mark Webber" is popular after the team orders fiasco.

Absolutely, the more the merrier, IMO. Whether there is fire to go with this smoke, we shall see. If there isn't, we'll have had fun toying with the idea anyway.....

Exactly! Exposure is never a bad thing, especially when it comes to our beloved type of motorsport. If Mark does tire of the BS that is F1 I could see him giving this a real go.

Here's to gossip!

I wonder whether Lotus would consider approaching Webber if Kimi ends up going to Red Bull. A straight swap to Lotus is the only other seat I could see Mark taking. But that is definitely a saga that will drag.

It would be ironic after all this if it was Vettel who ended up leaving.

Voices give Raikkonen approaching to Red Bull, after the news about Webber has signed for Porsche.
I think things are going to clarify...
