Webber unconcerned at losing Williams seat
Friday, August 4 2006 16:18 Hrs (IST) - World Time -

London: Mark Webber insisted he has no concerns for next season after losing his seat at Williams.

The Australian driver failed to reach an agreement with the Grove-based outfit to extend his contract for a further two years and although disappointed, Webber intimated that his manager Renault boss Flavio Briatore has already lined up another team for 2007.

I'm pretty relaxed at the moment. People might think it's a bit of a risk for us to leave the team but Flavio has rarely been wrong. He's very good and we all had a discussion before Hockenheim what we should do and he thinks we can get something better, otherwise I would have stayed there, wouldn't I? He told reporters on Thursday.

"Everything is under control. Obviously Flavio is looking after things at the moment and we have got a few plates spinning out there and we will see how they come down, " he said.

He added, "It would be silly to walk away from Williams and not have anything, wouldn't it? I thought they were going to announce Alex at Hockenheim to be honest. That is what I expected because we couldn't come to an agreement with Williams and that is the way it was."

"Williams had a choice to take an option up which was for a further two years and they weren't in a position to do that so we agreed that we would try to make it work, even if they couldn't have come to an agreement with the original terms in place, we would try and stay there and work a new deal from there. But still we couldn't and in the end we decided to Flavio said OK, let's go on the market and go from there," he said.

Few expect Webber to fret over his seat at Williams, which has seen the 29-year-old finish just four times this season. Renault and Red Bull are said to be in the running for the Australian's signature.
