Infiniti Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber has confirmed that he will leave Formula 1 at the end of the current season. The 36 year old Aussie has signed with Porsche to join their WEC and Le Mans 24-Hour team campaign in 2014 and beyond.
In 2002, Webber made his F1 debut with the Minardi team before driving for Jaguar Racing, Williams and Red Bull Racing. With the Milton Keynes-outfit, he enjoyed his best F1 career successes to date, finishing third overall in the Driver's Championship standings in 2010 and 2011.
When asked why he decided to join Porsche in the World Endurance Championship next season, Webber replied: "The timing is perfect to join a fresh programme. It’s a sensational
challenge and opportunity for my future to work with one of the most
famous marques in motorsport."
"It’s an honour for me to join Porsche at its return to the top category
in Le Mans and in the sports car World Endurance Championship and be
part of the team. Porsche has written racing history as a
manufacturer and stands for outstanding technology and performance at
the highest level."
“I’m very much looking forward to this new
challenge after my time in Formula One. Porsche will undoubtedly set
itself very high goals. I can hardly wait to pilot one of the fastest
sports cars in the world.”
