Jul.3 (GMM) Mark Webber is ready to drive a better car at Red Bull in 2009 and beyond, but the Australian insists he would not turn down a better offer from a faster formula one team.
"I know I have the talent to win grands prix," the on-form 31-year-old driver told Dutch sports daily AD Sportwereld Pro, "but I've only had a couple of chances to battle for the podium."
It is an open secret that Webber is negotiating about the 2009 season with Red Bull, for whom he has raced since leaving Williams at the end of 2006.
"In order to win a title you have to have a car that is fast on every circuit you go to. I've never been in that position, not even with Red Bull," he said.
"When I smell the chance to fight for the title with Red Bull, I will certainly grab it. But if there is a better opportunity somewhere else, then it will be the time to leave," Webber added.
Webber said talks with Red Bull about next year are already taking place.
"I think we are about a month away (from finalising them)," he explained.
