We can say that Mark at last feels a roof over his head in all senses.

Still retaining the Red Bull sponsorship on his helmet. No hard feelings there as long as the money comes I guess! At least he won't have to play second guy to his teammate(s). I hope he goes well.

I assume that's probably contractual - or just simply the fact he hasn't got another helmet.

When he announced his retirement, it was particularly mentioned that he will stay "in the RB family", so would be more surprising if the helmet did not have a RB logo. RB becoming the sponsor of whole team is another matter and I still doubt that.

Yeah I hope it's limited to his helmet in a similar vain to Buemi.

He still has a contract with Red Bull and doesn't work for Porsche (officially) until January 1, 2014. The only reason he was allowed to test the car is a favor from Red Bull.

The oldskool-like all white suit: that might have something to do with the contractual situation. Or then they don't want to give any hints or wrong ideas about future sponsors.

All other drivers have had that same Porsche GTE team suit.

I believe that's true, Mark will still have some personal Redbull advertisement for awhile yet, that's why his comments about former F1 teammate are still controlled, and he said, " it will be a long time before I sit down and have a drink with him"

Maybe the interview was done in the UK and he was still thinking in UK time?

Bought the full article, since it is originally from the FIA magazine "AUTO", the interview is really bland, exactly the type of boring superlative style you can see in any company's internal magazine. You won't miss anything.

Instead read the Crash.net interview(s) if you didn't yet:

Hahahaha bet ringmaster Norbert was giving out the hugs that week, Webber would've needed a couple after that show.

Of course there is another member of the Flying Circus who has been back to Le Mans several times since 1999.......

redbull.com has started a miniseries about Webber:

http://www.redbull.com/en/motorsport...mans-webisode1 (the first pic is the video )

It starts from last year and Texas, not sure for how long this goes on.

Further parts should show up here:

Webber admitted that he had briefly pined for F1 during the Australian Grand Prix weekend, but said since then he had completely settled into his new life.

"I couldn't be happier at the moment and F1 isn't something I miss at all," he said.
